SUMMARY:Becoming A Climate Designer for a Regenerative Future: A Guided Networking Experience
DESCRIPTION:What does it mean to design with climate in mind?  How might designers think more like ecologists?  How do I express my unique essence in a way that regenerates the whole?  What is the world we want to live in\, not the one we want to avoid? \nJoin us for a guided networking event bringing designers interested in asking and living with the big gnarly questions at the intersection of design and climate.   Our co-facilitators\, Marc O’Brien of Climate Designers and Michelle Lee of Studio Rhye\, will provide prompts during the event to spark conversations on topics such as: designing for a flourishing world\, regenerative design\, shifting paradigms and mindsets.   Imagine connecting with other values-aligned designers in a structured way that cuts out the awkwardness and small talk of typical events.  Imagine thought-provoking prompts to examine how you think\, feel\, and act on climate resilience.  Imagine clarity on how to channel your desires to contribute to climate change. \nLeave the event with a clearer understanding of your role as a person in the design industry who thinks and acts with ecological consciousness. Gain a sense of agency\, clarity\, and community. Participants will receive a digital packet with links to resources. \nRSVPs full? Click here to join the waitlist.

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

Join us as we look into the core of creativity\, with the aim to unravel the motivations that drive individuals to craft and innovate. We will explore the intricate interplay between inspiration\, innovation and creativity. We will address how technology seamlessly intertwines with creativity\, empowering makers with insights and capabilities to serve as a catalyst for their making. By shining a spotlight on this diverse range of makers\, we will unearth their stories and learn of the influences that help manifest their ideas: natural resources\, color\, experimental materials\, light\, San Francisco history\, architecture and urban planning. \nMark Rogero\, Founder\, Concreteworks. Mark founded Concreteworks in 1991 as a workshop in Emeryville crafting and fabricating commissioned pieces by hand. With a strong design sensibility\, adoption of advanced technologies\, a diverse and specialized team and dedication as a life-long student of concrete\, Concreteworks is well know for creating the seemingly impossible–and always beautiful. From products to furniture to collaborative architectural feats\, Mark Rogero’s exploration is on the cutting edge continuing to push concrete far beyond a strictly industrial material. \nMark Rogero’s drive for innovation\, craftmanship and sustainability continues decades later\, imaging that his company has just scratched the surface of this materials’ potential and limitations. \n(Moderator) Lise de Vito\, Owner\, Zack | de Vito Architecture + Construction. Lise has an established design career spanning over 25 years in the San Francisco Bay Area demonstrating innovation in varying project types\, primarily single-family as well as urban-infill\, multi-family residential design|build development projects.

SUMMARY:Developing a network of shared interest in the future of San Francisco
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by Problem Library which is supporting a renaissance toward beauty\, goodness\, and truth in education\, art\, and cultural infrastructure. \nSince 2017\, the [working] program has been transforming vacant retail spaces in San Francisco and Oakland into sites of creative use: studios\, galleries\, and installations. By building relationships with property owners the program is able to provide artists with free space to imagine and create public facing activations. Through these relationships the program has helped actualize visions for the future of retail footprints. This approach comes from the programs belief that vacancy is an opportunity to critically rethink what public spaces do for people and work toward a San Francisco that is overflowing with energy and life. \nThe programs latest collaboration has given purpose to a vacant storefront turning it into an atelier and showroom for the sculptor Lynette Nicole Betancur. Over the past six months Lynette has reimagined the empty space into a platform for collaboration with other designers & artists\, a venue for the sale of her sculptures\, and a site of beauty for neighbors. Going forward\, [working] is continuing to learn and adapt how it can support educational and cultural goals\, and is seeking builders\, developers\, and planners looking to invest in large-scale\, thriving environments designed for people. \nWe invite you to join us at Lynette’s atelier for an open house and to learn more about the history of [working]\, the programs future ambitions\, and how you can help us work toward a positive and healthy future for San Francisco.

SUMMARY:Design Challenge: AI character re-design
DESCRIPTION:What if the Terminator was a friendly brainstorming assistant rather than a cyborg of mass destruction? For decades\, AI characters have proliferated in film\, television\, literature\, and other forms of popular media. These AI characters are not always evil or malicious\, but their interactions with humans could often be improved. They could benefit from a re-design. \nTogether\, we will imagine and re-design ethical Generative AI experiences by exploring the interactions of the most notorious AI characters. Working in teams\, participants will transform less-than-pleasant interactions with AI movie characters into user-friendly experiences. Each team will not only re-design each character\, they will improve the overall interaction experience with that character. Each team will then present a prototype (visual\, interactive\, storyboard\, performance\, etc) to demonstrate their results. \nThe best character re-design\, wins! Join the IBM SF design community for an afternoon of innovation and friendly competition.

Since then\, Creative Growth’s annual runway show has expanded into a generative fashion department within the studio\, partnering with important artists\, brands and designers across the country. Founded in 1974 in Oakland\, California by Elias Katz and Florence Ludins-Katz\, the organization was established with a mission to utilize art as a primary means for individuals with disabilities to express themselves  within a safe and nurturing community and gain professional gallery exposure. Creative Growth operates as both studio and gallery that not only showcases the works of its 140+ artists but actively promotes their inclusion into major collections and institutions globally\, such as MoMA\, the Smithsonian and the recent historic acquisition by SFMoMA. Sales from the gallery directly fund artist support and studio operations\, helping to sustain and expand this vibrant creative community. @creativegrowth \nEMILY PAYNE grew up in Mill Valley\, Calif.\, and Amherst\, Mass.
