Paris. Blurred Lines: The Evolution of Product & Design with AI

​Hosted by Projector Global Community, Le Comptoir Avalon - Paris and supported by AI Collective Paris, this session explores how AI is reshaping the day-to-day reality of Product Managers and Designers—and what this means for roles, ownership, and collaboration inside modern product teams.

​Who owns discovery when AI can generate insights?
Who defines the solution when design tools can prototype instantly?
What even distinguishes product thinking from design thinking anymore?

​You’ll hear from:

• ​Vaska Vlahova, Staff Product Designer at Qonto

• ​Florian Herlicq, Lead Product Manager at Orus

• ​Justine Potin, Product Manager at Finary

​Moderated by:

• ​Kate Mas, Career Strategist at messy careers (ex-Qonto, ex-Preply) — guiding the discussion on blurred boundaries and future-ready skills in product and design

​This isn’t a “Product Manager vs Designer” debate. It’s a conversation about what happens when traditional role boundaries stop making sense.

​What we’ll explore:

• ​Where Product Manager and Design responsibilities are already merging

• ​How AI is changing product discovery, decision-making, and execution

• ​The risks of blurred ownership (and how to avoid them)

• ​What skills will actually matter going forward

• ​How to operate effectively in a world where roles are less defined

​Expect a candid, practical discussion—less theory, more real-world shifts you’re likely already feeling.

​Come if you’re a Product Manager, Designer, or product leader trying to make sense of your role in this transition—and what to do about it.

​A friendly note: Guests are encouraged to buy a drink to support our hosts Le Comptoir Avalon.
