Leapfrog Technology Inc., a Kathmandu-based IT company, has concluded the fourth edition of its flagship design event, Design Disco, powered by AWS. Leapfrog works in the areas of healthcare, fintech, ed-tech, and construction.
The program, attended by 150 participants, was organized at Super Club Thamel and featured speakers such as Abhash Bikram Thapa, Director of Design at Leapfrog Technology Inc.; Jayasri Nagrale, Senior Product Designer at Microsoft; Deepshikha Yadav, Founder of World We Desire; and Bidhan Rajbhandari, Governor at Ad Club of Nepal.
This year’s theme, “The Digital Me,” explored how personalization, context-aware experiences, spatial design, and invisible interfaces are reshaping human interaction with technology. The conversations went beyond automation, focusing on creating the Agentic Experience—where AI evolves from being just a tool to becoming a true extension of oneself—and empowering designers to take on ambitious, stretch projects without coding expertise, fueled simply by curiosity and a foundational understanding of AI.
“Design is no longer just about what we see on the screen; it has transcended to incorporate experiential elements of engagement, especially with AI in the mix,” said Abhash Bikram Thapa, keynote speaker and organizing team lead. “We are thrilled with this year’s attendance, which surpassed that of the previous three editions. I’m confident the event successfully combined innovation, curiosity, and collaboration, and shed light on the next frontier of human-centered digital design.”
“Everything was so thoughtfully designed within this conference. I especially loved the venue—it was such a unique idea that gave us good vibes right from the start,” added Deepshikha Yadav, one of the speakers. “The four presentation topics complemented each other perfectly. The theme, ‘The Digital Me,’ covered different dimensions, from accessibility to marketing. Loved the vibe, loved the audience, and loved the duration.”
Recognized as a premier platform for Nepal’s design community, Design Disco brings together creative minds in design, development, and design thinking each year through thematic talks, engaging presentations, and meaningful networking opportunities.
