Design Evenings NYC:From Concept to Conviction: AI in the Designer's Toolkit
Join us for an evening with Mareike Carolin Keller, Product Designer at Spotify, as she explores how to move AI from an experimental tool to a core part of your design workflow. Mareike will share how to leverage AI-assisted prototyping and code generation to accelerate execution and earn rapid stakeholder buy-in.
As AI tools mature, the challenge for design teams is moving from informal experimentation to practical, daily utility. Mareike Carolin Keller will unpack how to embed AI directly into sprint cycles, validate complex ideas through real-time prototyping, and replace static mockups with interactive deliverables. Expect practical insights on using AI to bridge the gap between ideation and execution, ultimately driving faster cross-functional consensus.
