NYU Panel · 2026
I had the opportunity to speak at NYU's student panel as a product designer on the tech-focused track, joining a conversation about how design and technology have evolved — and where they're headed next.
The panel brought together designers at different stages of their careers to talk honestly with students about what the field actually looks like: the tools that have changed, the ways we collaborate with engineers, the lessons that don't make it into any curriculum.
I spoke about navigating rapid shifts in the industry — from design tooling to AI-native workflows — and what it means to stay grounded in user impact even as the landscape keeps changing under your feet.
