SUMMARY:Women in Leadership & Design (WILD) Jam: Focus Your Vision
DESCRIPTION:We are redirecting the attention of our Women in Leadership & Design (WILD) community through a vision boarding party during SF Design Week. Vision boarding is an inspiring creative tool for focusing one’s attention on a better\, more intentional future — a major part of both SFDW’s and WILD’s reasons for being. When we give our hopes\, dreams\, and wishes form — whether we put them in words by writing them down\, or make them tangible through visual design — they are more likely to become a reality. So we will gather\, with magazines and collage materials\, to bring our unique visions for creating a better world and daily life\, together.  \nWe will provide thematic creative prompts ahead of the session\, such as ‘How do you want to show up bold?’ to guide all participants in selecting powerful images to work with\, that uplift and elevate our mission and purpose. Participants are encouraged to bring their own inspirational materials\, adding a personal touch to their vision boards and enhancing the collective creativity of our WILD community. We are excited to ignite change through art and design. As this year’s ‘Attention’ theme suggests\, we seek to bring together a global and intersectional community of designers\, strategists\, artists\, and activists to focus on connections yet to be made. Learn more about WILD here. \nAgenda: \n\n3:30-3:45: Gathering and mingling\n3:45-4:00: Brief introductions and intentions.\n4:00-5:15: Vision boarding; 5 minute break moments will happen throughout the creation session to share ideas\, works in progress\, and reflections.\n5:15-5:45: Share vision boards with one another\n5:45-6:00: Wrap up & goodbyes\n\nThis WILD Jam session will be held at The Box SF\, the former ‘William Randolph Hearst Printing Plant’ and one of San Francisco’s premier event spaces. It has been generously donated by Mark E. Sackett\, Founder and Executive Creative Director at TheBoxSF.com\, Sackett Design and Reflectur.com.

SUMMARY:Chronos vs. Kairos: The Battle for Attention
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an interactive discussion and exploration of time. How do we experience it? Are we using it wisely? The technological advancements of the digital age enable us to keep our calendars full and our lives productive as ever\, but at what cost? \n\nThe ancient Greeks had two concepts of time. Chronos is quantitative time\, measured in years\, months\, weeks\, days\, hours\, minutes\, seconds. Kairos\, is qualitative time or also known as “Deep Time”\, an experience where our perception of Chronos stops or disappears\, and we’re able to be truly present. \nThis event will invite you to examine and explore how these two concepts play out\, and consider how we may cultivate greater mindfulness and deeper experiences in our daily lives and design practices. \nBrought to you by:\nPact Studio – Creating meaningful\, unmistakable brands.\nExistential Co. – Storyteller exploring life\, death\, and meaning.\nDavid Bill – Service Designer and UX’er interested in history\, systems thinking\, human behavior\, and the role of technology.

SUMMARY:The Future is Physital - Designs that Bridge the Physical and Digital World\, Enabled by XR\, AI and other Emerging Tech
DESCRIPTION:In this lecture\, designer and artist Xiaobi Iris Pan (https://irispan.net/) will share design trends made possible with the latest AI and XR technologies. Iris believes the future of design should poetically bridge the digital world with the physical\, to create a world where bits and atoms are interwoven\, where technology is used to connect rather than isolate\, inspire rather than distract\, nourish rather than exhaust people. \nThe lecture will feature 3 of Iris’ independent design works\, including\n1) Love Cassette\, the first-of-its-kind sound interactive installation that can turn one’s love message into a postcard on the spot\, to date\, Love Cassette has been visited by over 1 million participants around the world.\n2)Heat Chair\, an innovative computational design and fabrication system that can turn human ergonomics data into the robotic heating path\, to manufacture a chair that is completely responsive to human ergonomics.\n3) a series of XR interactive projects that break the boundary between the digital and physical world. \nThe audience will learn from the lecture: \n1) The future is physical. From an experience level\, Iris is advocating for hybrid and holistic experience design where the experience itself involves multiple senses and bridges the digital world with the physical.\n2) From a human level\, our products and experiences need to be personalizable\, anticipatory\, and adaptable to human needs and various human states. And luckily\, now these designs are made possible with advanced AI technology.\n3) From an environment and system level\, the future of design needs to be programmable. (Material\, Algorithm\, Fabrication. etc.) \nThese trends are also made possible because of the most recent advanced manufacturing techniques (e.g. nano-scale 3D printing\, bio-programmable material\, etc.)

SUMMARY:Rafi Ajl at The Future Perfect Exhibition and Art Opening
DESCRIPTION:Experience the work of Rafi Ajl at The Future Perfect (3085 Sacramento Street)\, beginning June 7.  Ajl is a Berkeley\, California-based artist who is obsessed with form and process. He is driven by the possibilities of materiality\, an insatiable curiosity\, and an undisputed reverence for the pressures of the creative process. At The Future Perfect’s Pacific Height’s gallery\, see a range of his works\, including furniture\, glass works\, and more. \nSchedule: \n\nExhibition Gallery Open 10am-6pm\, stop by any time to see the exhibit Monday-Friday.\nOpening Celebration Event 6pm-8pm\n\nThe Future perfect will be serving Las Jaras wine for  the opening celebration. \nThis event celebrates the exhibition opening; however\, attendees are also encouraged to visit the Gallery\, open from 10 am – 6pm\,  Monday through Friday. \nRafi Ajl (b.1983) is a Berkeley\, California-based artist who is obsessed with form and process. He is driven by the possibilities of materiality\, an insatiable curiosity\, and an undisputed reverence for the pressures of the creative process. \nAjl’s approach is also deeply rooted in post-structuralist critical theory\, which emphasizes that the process is never terminal but boundless and full of play. \nAjl studied literature and critical theory at Hampshire College\, where he gained a foundation in post-structuralist critical theory\, the Situationists\, a prominent group of European intellectuals and avant-garde artists\, and the German philosopher Walter Benjamin. \nBorn and raised in Brooklyn\, New York\, Ajl grew up in a deeply artistic home where making things was a way of life. He can scarcely recall a time when he wasn’t building and taking things apart\, and cites his quilter mother\, who taught him how to sew and about color\, as an early influence. His house was an assemblage of folk art\, antique furniture\, and quilts\, where brightly colored walls contrasted with parquet floors and neo-Victorian details. In 2012\, Ajl graduated from the California College of the Arts with an MFA in Design.

Please acquire an ‘all access pass”; and then register for each event. \nCreativity\, ideas\, inspiration and exploration\, balanced with in-depth knowledge\, remain essential elements in today’s interiors and architecture.  \nInspiration and intense engagement are evident throughout four special afternoon seminars at the studios of leading California architects\, a new showroom\, and interior designers in San Francisco. \nDuring the architecture and design studio on-site events in the series\, attendees will meet San Francisco’s leading architecture and design practitioners and view work and discuss process. \nStudios include Aidlin Darling Design\, The Wiseman Group\, BCJ\, ODADA\, Geoff de Sousa Design and de Sousa Hughes\, and BAMO\, Ken Fulk\, Martin Kobus\, Studio Collins Weir and The Office of Charles de Lisle. These 4 intense on-site seminars take place on different afternoons over 4 days and require separate ticketing.  In each intense on-site seminar\, we have a program to meet the designers and architects\, to engage with new projects\, and new highlights from work on the boards. \nEach studio visit is an opportunity to encounter advanced ideas\, creative procedures\, and design and architecture concepts and advanced thinking. \nAttendees will experience the full range of aesthetics\, from pure modernism to richly informed classical design\, traditional\, bold\, minimal\, and eclectic expression. All are based on intellectual and intuitive disciplines. A highlight will be viewing and discussing works in process\, as well as newly completed interiors and unpublished new residences. \nWe will see how studios fully use newest technical advances such as VR and AI\, and 3D printing (and continue to sketch) in their design concepts and in interactions with their clients. Participants will view and engage with latest thinking on sustainability\, ‘green’ practices\, and the use of tech and an appreciation for sketching. \nAt the end of each day\, participants are invited to a private in-studio reception and celebration\, offering the opportunity to meet designers and their staff and to discuss in-depth ideas and views.\n \nLed by best-selling author and leading interior design journalist/ author Diane Dorrans Saeks\, this year’s interior designer program follows on the great success of last ten year’s programs.\n\nDiane’s seminars offer a very rare opportunity to tour top architecture and interior design studios\, meet with designers and architects one-on-one. \nDynamic San Francisco architecture and design firms on the seminar roster include Aidlin Darling Design\, BAMO\, and The Wiseman Group and BCJ\, as well as leading interior designers Ken Fulk\, Martin Kobus\, Charles de Lisle\, Susan Collins Weir\,  ODADA. A special visit to the new De Sousa Hughes NEW showroom is a highlight.  \n\nEach highly accomplished designer and architect will speak of works in progress\, new work\, and what they see happening in the near future. Studio visits celebrate achievement\, creativity\, the power of ideas\, and the power of optimism. This program is not appropriate for children under 16\, as they are architecture & design study tours of studios\, with formal presentations made by company principals. \n\n\n \nADDITIONAL SEMINARS:\nLearn more about other events in the series \nJune 1\, 1pm-5pm:  San Francisco\nStudio visits to Aidlin Darling Design\, ODADA and  BCJ.

SUMMARY:What they don’t tell you about breaking into product design
DESCRIPTION:In order to be in the top 1% of candidates\, you must do what the other 99% won’t. This is especially true in the current job market. In this session\, Kathy will walk you through exactly how she was able to land her dream job in product design. By listening to her personal story\, you’ll learn all the tips and tricks to put you in the top 1%. \nEvent format : A 45-minute virtual session. Kathy will speak for 35 minutes and leave 10 minutes at the end for Q&A. \nMeet the speaker: Kathy Wang is currently a product designer at Snorkel AI. She’s previously worked at Dropbox and IBM\, and received her master’s in Information Science from Cornell University. Kathy is based in San Francisco. \nKey takeaways: \n\nGain insights into what it’s like to work at a large company (like IBM) versus a smaller company like Dropbox) versus a really small startup (like Doss).\nLearn how to write a cold email that will catch the recruiter’s attention and guarantee you an interview with your dream company. (Most people don’t know how to write a good cold email. I will teach you.)\nUnderstand how to usability test your portfolio. (You need to treat your portfolio like a product\, which means that you have to get feedback from others.)\nGet advice on how to navigate this competitive job market (i.e. how to get LinkedIn Premium for free\, which conferences to attend\, how to make sure you’re using timing to your advantage\, etc.).\n\nThis session will be worth your while if you’re trying to get a job in product design!

SUMMARY:Hello\, Robot: Welcoming the Age of Human-Robot Interaction
DESCRIPTION:Card79 has been at the cutting edge of design and technology since our inception\, continually pushing the boundaries with emerging technologies like neurotechnology and robotics. This year\, we’re stepping away from our CAD tools and Post-it notes to invite you to a special evening focused on Human-Robot Interactions. \nWith the fields of AI and Hardware converging\, a technology inflection point is on the horizon. This historical moment holds the potential to enable robots to take on considerably more complex tasks—from caring for aging baby boomers to dramatically simplifying manufacturing processes. But how can we ensure this technical progress will actually address our complex human needs? \nJoin us as we open our studio for the first time to explore this emerging field of human-robot interactions. We’ll share our latest insights on the intersection of design and robotics and have invited some very special friends and collaborators to give speed presentations on these topics. \nOur guest speakers include: \n\nProf. Jussi Ängeslevä\, a partner at ART+COM and an independent designer who brings over 20 years of experience in UX and emerging technologies.\nGreg Katz\, an award-winning industrial designer with over 10 years working across design firms and in-house teams at Google X\, Everyday Robots\, and Amazon Lab126.\nAfshin Mehin\, who will share Card79’s work in developing robots for clients like Neuralink\, along with the team’s futuristic projects in speculative robotics.\n\nStay tuned for more speakers to be added — we have a lot in store for attendees! \nDoors open at 6:00 PM. Don’t miss this opportunity — secure your spot and RSVP now! \n
