Event description
AI can already produce mockups on its own. And that changes everything: a designer’s value is no longer in what they make, but in what they decide not to make, and why. What matters now is not execution but judgment: the ability to think, negotiate, and own the outcome.
Let’s look at it from two angles: the human one and the practical one.
Talk one. Olha Pasternak: soft skills as the new edge
- Why soft skills become the main way to stand out when AI already handles mediocre design
- The new ethics of design work: how to avoid sliding into slop
- How to work on soft skills systematically, instead of waiting for them to “come with experience”
Talk two. Vita Martsishauskaite: viable web concepts built with AI
- How not to sit in front of a blank screen: where a concept actually starts
- The process: where AI speeds things up and where the designer decides
- Less dependence on illustrators and motion designers: what you can now cover yourself
- What to do with a concept next: from a picture to a working site
Both talks come with examples from real projects. Afterwards there will be time for live Q&A and networking.
