Exclusive Event

Event Overview

AI in design can feel uncertain at first. This session explores how three designers moved from hesitation to hands-on experimentation, and what changed once they started building with AI.

  • 01

    Starting With Play

    Learn how setting aside time to experiment with AI without pressure can shift your mindset, unlock creativity, and influence how you approach real design work.

  • 02

    Building What Was Not Possible Before

    Discover how AI enables designers to go beyond speeding up workflows and instead create entirely new experiences, from large-scale prototyping to AI-powered products.

  • 03

    From Discomfort to Momentum

    Explore how the early challenges of adopting AI can turn into flow, reducing the cost of experimentation and helping designers move ideas from backlog to reality faster.
