Clip Content #3: Lighting the Way
What is Clip Content?
For the stuff outside the frame.
Clip Content is an event series for Senior-level Product Designers and above. It's a space for you to bring your experiences and talk about design and leadership topics away from the biases, pressures, and politics that shape how we think at work. Join us for honest and thoughtful conversations for all the stuff that happens outside the frame and leave the company biases at the door.
Clip Content #3: Lighting the Way
Join us for an intimate night with fellow Senior-level and above Product Designers as well as other Senior+ IC and Leadership folks at Playlist Studio in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. We’re keeping attendance to a small group of guests so the night stays intimate, discussion-driven, and easy to actually connect in. If you can't make it, we ask that you update your RSVP accordingly.
This event is hosted by Playlist Studio. Founded by a diverse group of creatives, Playlist Studio is a Brooklyn-based design studio that focuses on where brand, marketing, and digital products come together. From bold, large-scape initiatives to projects that help small businesses grow, their work is rooted in a deep appreciation for detail, creativity, and imagination—making sure every piece fits just right, building a stronger foundation for lasting success.

💬 The Roundtable Format
Roundtables is a format built around small group discussion rather than presentations. The goal is to keep things relaxed, conversational, and genuine. We’re aiming to foster the kind of setting where people can share what they’re seeing, ask hard questions, and learn from each other.
🎙️ Prompt for the Evening: Lighting the Way
We’ve all been shaped by people who made time for us. Now, the question for us is what we owe the next generation of design talent. Join us for an honest conversation about mentorship, stewardship, and our role in shepherding the next wave of designers: what good mentorship looks like, where we fall short, and how we can make it part of our everyday.
Who We're Looking For
Admission to Clip Content events is curated and we are looking at the following criteria:
Industry representation - we want a diverse set of industry experience to come to together.
Folks with clear senior-level or above titles in Product Design or Research (and topic-dependent, we'd also accept folks with related careers including Product Management and Engineering).
If you do not have a senior-level or above title, we look to ensure at least 2-3 years of experience in Product Design and 3-4 years of professional working experience prior to Product Design
Interesting takes in the “hot takes/shower thoughts” comments
Note on Admission: We limit attendance to these events to allow for more intimate conversation so there will be times we just receive more qualified folks than we can accommodate.
By attending our events, you are entering an area where photography, audio, and video recording may occur. We foster curiosity and connections through our events and are a harassment-free zone 💜
