Open Tab № 01
The tools got easier. The thinking didn't.
A short-form talk series where designers share what they're actually thinking about right now. That might be a side project mid-build, a hot take on where the industry is headed, a decision they're still sitting with, or a story they've never told in a room like this.
Four speakers. Ten to fifteen minutes each. Then the room.
May's lineup
Alex Kehr, founder of Superlocal, on exploring injecting your design preferences into AI coding tools / taste app
