Founder-led design: An AMA for Startups with Randy Hunt, Head of Design @ Notion

​What happens when the person designing the product is the person setting the vision? And what happens when AI starts doing… both?

Join us for an intimate evening with Randy Hunt, Notion's Head of Design, for a candid AMA on founder-led design — what it actually looks like, why it matters, and how AI is about to reshape the entire craft.

Randy's been building products at the intersection of design and business for 20+ years. From shaping Etsy's beloved brand, to designing for hundreds of millions of users at Grab in Singapore, to now leading design at Notion, one of the most iconic tools for builders. He's seen firsthand how the best founders treat design not as a department, but as a competitive advantage.

Expect real talk on:

🧠 Founder-led design: why the best startups are design-obsessed from day one

🤖 AI × Design: how AI is collapsing the distance between idea and product, and what that means for the role of the designer-founder

🔮 Designing the future: Randy's take on how we'll build products in a world where AI is a co-creator, not just a tool

🍕 Great food, good drinks, and a curated room of SG's sharpest builders

📍 Swee Lee, Clarke Quay: an invite-curated setting with other founders both bootstrapped and VC-backed.

If you're a founder or builder who cares about craft, this one's for you.
