UX Design in the Age of AI — Tuesday Talks by Women in Design NYC

​How is AI actually shifting the day-to-day practice of design? AI has changed the design process in a big way—and while these tools might not change our core purpose, they dramatically expand how many creative directions we can explore.

​Join us and our speaker, Yolanda Tian, as she shares her evolving day-to-day workflow with AI. In this talk, Yolanda will dive into where AI can fully automate tasks, where a designer's thinking and input still matter most, and demo helpful tools and techniques that help her design more efficiently—so more time goes toward the meaningful work.

​Whether you're actively using AI in your workflow or curious about how to start, bring your questions, join the conversation, and share your own real-world perspectives with the community.

​This session will feature scenarios using software and AI tools like Fathom, Granola, Claude, Linear Orbit, and Figma Make. Recommended for designers working in UI, UX, Design Strategy, Product Management, and related creative fields. Come join us.
