NYC Creative Builders Collective

Designing with AI
How we create is changing. AI innovation is lowering the barriers to contribution, blurring the lines between disciplines, and reshaping how we collaborate. At Datadog, designers have always embraced product builder mindset, but last year we made a huge leap forward: 100% of the design organization at Datadog shipped code and directly improved the quality of our products for our customers.
Join us for a night of learning and community and hear from a panel of three staff designers on how they’re integrating AI into real workflows, what's working and what isn't, and where we’re investing next.
Don't miss it!
Who should attend?
Everyone who identifies as a creative builder: designers, visual designers, design engineers, front end designers, design system practitioners, AI prototypers, model designers, and adjacent roles in content, research, product management and industries where people are building with curiosity are welcome.
Food and Drink
We’ll have a selection of empanadas from Empanada Mama and a selection of beverages (beer, sodas, juices).
