About this Session
The design industry has spent years perfecting our processes – double diamond, wireframes, design systems. But AI is changing everything.
As a Product Designer at Anthropic and former Director of Design at Figma, Jenny has seen how our industry's shifted in the past few years and how much AI is speeding that up now. I'll share how embracing high-fidelity prototyping, trusting intuition over process, and getting comfortable with rapid changes leads to better products. We'll explore why these approaches feel uncomfortable (they should!), and why that discomfort is actually a sign we're moving in the right direction.
Jenny Wen is a product leader and designer who believes in making software both powerful and joyful. Currently a design lead for Claude.ai at Anthropic, Jenny previously served as Director of Design at Figma, where she led teams working on groundbreaking products including FigJam, Slides, and Community. She brought FigJam from concept to launch, helping create a collaborative whiteboarding tool that people actually love using. Jenny loves helping teams be more ambitious together, whether that's imagining novel solutions or shipping higher quality products – all while having fun along the way.
