Strategy

For the people who decide what gets built: portfolio bets, roadmaps that hold up, and the conversations with leadership around them.

  • Saying no at scaleLukas Brandt, Ferro Mobility
  • Research that changes decisionsDaniel Asante, Harbour Learning
  • From founder taste to team tasteNoor Haddad, Fieldnote

Craft

For the people who make it good: interface detail, design systems, and the habits that keep quality high while teams grow.

  • Designing for the second visitTomás Reyes, Quill Health
  • Interfaces with a point of viewHana Sato, Kiln Studio
  • A design system is a contractSofia Mendes, Tide Commerce
  • Wayfinding for complex productsMei Lin Zhou, Atlas Maps

AI in Practice

For teams already shipping with models: evaluation, trust, prototyping, and the product calls that come after the demo.

  • Shipping a model nobody noticesAmara Okafor, Lumen Ledger
  • Evals are the new specsPriya Natarajan, Orbital Bank
  • Trust is a UI problemRafael Duarte, Coral Insurance
  • Prototyping with live modelsElena Petrova, Northwind Energy
