About this event

Join Louise Macfadyen, product designer (formerly at Google, Microsoft), writer, and creative technologist, for an exploration of the evolving relationship between AI and UX, and how it inspired her new book, Designing AI Interfaces.

What you’ll learn:

Louise will share stories from her journey building products at top organizations, and how she came to specialize in AI-driven products and computational interaction. She’ll unpack practical, design-first guidance for product teams building with LLMs and autonomous systems, like:

• How can I design effective and ethical interfaces with LLMs and AI agents?

• How can I manage risk and enable transparency when designing agentic systems?

• How can I gain fluency in key AI concepts, and how will they help me collaborate better with engineering teams?

Whether you're a student, designer, product professional, or simply curious about the future of AI, this is a unique opportunity to learn from a leader at the forefront of AI design.

What to expect:

A moderated discussion and Q&A between Louise and Pittsburgh’s leading product builders on the future of design and research using AI. 

Who you’ll meet:

Members of the larger Pittsburgh tech community, including Steel City UX Ladies (SCUXL) and Carnegie Mellon University.
