Circle Connect 3: Design x Ai

Circle Connect 3: Design x Ai 1080 1350 Design Business Chamber Singapore

There are dozens of creative tools to ideate, generate and edit
content like never before. As designers, we are always looking for
tools to make our work processes flow better, faster and easier.

Most design jobs are defined by creative and social intelligence
and these skill sets require empathy, creative problem-solving,
negotiation and persuasion. How can designers co-exist and
embrace AI, along with other technological advancements?

Join us for a fireside chat with our curated panelists from various
disciplines and gain insights on how designers will evolve, using
design thinking techniques in multidisciplinary contexts that go
beyond the conventional.
