The Full-Stack AI Designer: From Vibe to Velocity

To stay ahead, designers must evolve into "AI builders"—mastering data synthesis, vibe coding, and LLM evaluations. This session delivers a practical roadmap to reclaim influence and drive product strategy.

Designing at Scale: Creating Leverage with AI
AI is often framed as a speed tool, but its real impact is scale. This talk shows how designers can multiply their output by offloading execution, exploring more ideas, and working across multiple projects and areas simultaneously. The shift isn’t just faster work — it’s a new way of operating where designers focus on judgment, not production.

Systematic AI for Design: Skills, Craft, Thinking
Most designers use AI as isolated one-off tools. This talk shows how to wire individual capabilities into a connected system—research synthesis, brief creation, hi-fi prototyping, Figma handoff—where each output feeds the next. The result: 2+ weeks of work in 2–3 days, with human judgment at every checkpoint.

Building More Accessible Products in the Age of AI
Accessibility at New York Times scale means millions of readers. Every barrier in a paywall locks someone out of journalism. Designers know it matters, but the manual work eats up the time we have. AI changes the math. What used to take a day now takes minutes, so accessibility stops being something we do "if we have time" and becomes the default.

This talk gives you the framing and tangible next steps to apply.

After the Idea, There's Plenty of Time to Learn AI
You're afraid AI will make you obsolete. PMs and engineers think they can do your job. So you hide in tutorials and wait for a playbook. No one is writing it. After 180 interviews with designers, PMs, and engineers, I personally think this is the best moment to be a designer — if you stop waiting and prototype. Walk out ready for the next chapter of your career.
