Beyond the MVP mindset: dealing with ambiguity in product work
Validating ideas and product direction in rapidly growing companies poses challenges that may not always be solved with a cookie-cutter MVP approach. Diana will walk you through useful frameworks for thinking about solution validation and de-risking delivery in hyper growth businesses.
Marcus Schaefer, Product Design Director, Vinted
Designing with data
Having researchers, data professionals and strategists embedded in cross-functional product teams provides unique opportunities for product designers at Vinted. Marcus will talk about how leveraging insights about our members and business enables design to make informed decisions, quickly.

Luke founded Tech Circus in 2015, having just sold his recruitment company after years of building and establishing various successful businesses. He began by organising a number of pub meet-ups that would soon escalate in scale to become The UX Crunch – which is now the leading UX meetup event in Europe.
Diana has loads of invaluable experience driving go-to-market strategies and leveraging network effects to deliver value to customers in a diverse spectrum of categories.
Prior to his current quest at Vinted, he was a part of @Soundcloud. Throughout his nine years there, he served as Product Designer, Senior Design Lead, and eventually Head of Product Design.
During his career, Marcus firmly established himself as an inspiring and dependable leader, able to inspire and empower those around him. He loves working with passionate and talented people and believes that a strong sense of mission is the best source of inspiration.
Prior to this, he worked as Product Owner @IPF Digital, Business Analyst and IT Project Manager @Luminor, as well as IT System Analysts @Asseco Lithuania, and throughout his career, established himself as a reliable problem solver and creator.
Deividas describes himself as a person who simply cannot sit still for an extended period of time. He loves connecting to others, competing, thrives in a dynamic environment, and is a firm believer in the benefits of constantly moving out of his comfort zone.
The intersection between technology and design is of particular interest to Ina, and she seeks out purpose-driven brands to work with. Before starting her journey at Vinted, she was a UI/UX Designer at CUJO AI.
Ina wants to create the best possible user experience for the Vinted community. To reach this goal, she develops a deeper understanding of the company and its business, defines the problems faced by users, works on design-based solutions, conducts user interviews, and much more.
Before becoming a valued member of Vinted’s Engineering team, Tim had worked for a fintech company as a Ruby on Rails Product Engineer, served as the Head of Web Development at an agency with a focus on mobile development, and worked as a freelance Ruby on Rails developer.
Having studied both design and computer science, Tim has a deep appreciation of how the two are intertwined. He’s interested in pushing the boundaries of what is possible, and explores ways of making technology more accessible to people across the globe.
