An AI x Design Afternoon #05
What to expect
We're bringing together 25 senior+ product designers to learn together by making real things.
If you're familiar with our mornings, this is our first in the AFTERNOON.
3:00pm – Doors open, meet others or get heads down building with AI
4:00pm – Community demos
4:30pm – Live walkthrough + Q&A with special guest Kate Pincott (Multiverse)
5:30am – Wrap up
6:00pm – 👋
Build time (3pm)
A low-pressure space to experiment with tools like Cursor, Claude Code, or whatever you've been curious to try. No prior AI experience required.
Not sure what to build or which tools to use? The group can help you figure it out. Make sure to bring your laptop.
If you'd rather spend time meeting others, instead of coding, that totally works too.
Community demos (4pm)
We'll kick off with AI inspiration from the community. No slides. No polish. Designers who've been building with AI connect their laptop and take a couple of minutes to walk through a project they've recently built with AI.
Live walkthrough (4:30pm)
Kate Pincott is Director of Experience at Multiverse, where she leads product design, user research, brand & agentic design systems across the AI-powered learning platform. She has spent her career shaping digital products at the likes of Facebook, Cleo, Mattereum and ustwo, alongside a parallel life as a designer-maker, co-founding a bespoke furniture and sculpture workshop and studio.
During this session Kate will give a glimpse into some of the tools her team has built with Claude to scale design at Multiverse.
Why this exists
The internet is full of podcasts, LinkedIn posts and YouTube videos about AI. The hard part is finding the time to actually use the tools yourself, to feel first‑hand what they're great at and where they fall apart, which rarely happens when your day‑to‑day is full of back‑to‑backs.
This session is that space.
Building alongside peers adds a little accountability and a lot of momentum. You can try something, get stuck, ask for help, and share what you made. All in the same session.
This isn't about reach or performance. It's about getting real about what's actually possible with these tools, and bringing a practical lens to how they fit into your daily work.
You're welcome to use the build time to experiment wildly, or build something for your actual job.
Who this is for
Seasoned product designers. Your title might include Lead, Staff, Manager, or Director. You have the altitude to see strategic opportunities across your organisation and understand how to drive outsized impact through your work. You just haven't had enough space to apply that lens to AI yet.
Seniority doesn't matter once you're in the room. There's no hierarchy here. Everyone's a builder, everyone's experimenting, everyone's figuring it out.
This isn't a talk or a panel. It's a morning to get inspired by and build alongside people like you.
