Works in Progress
Works in Progress... is a monthly evening for designers and creative professionals who want to see how AI and new tools are actually changing the way creative work gets made.
Most design events celebrate the finished result. This one opens up what happens before that.
Not finished projects, not polished case studies. Speakers open their laptops, show their live workflows and tool stacks, and share what changed in their process, including what broke along the way.
Thank you to Design Zentrum Hamburg for supporting this event.

📝 A note on this format
This first event is a prototype. We're building something monthly, but we're doing it openly. Experimenting with what works, what doesn't, and letting the community shape what it becomes. No bullshit. High value. If you have thoughts, bring them on the night.
