About this session

So much of our work as designers revolves around efficiency, particularly with the increasing integration of AI tools. What happens when we ditch the focus on efficiency and take the long way round? When we start thinking about the long-term and focus on the broader systems that surround us? This talk is centered on shifting our mindsets toward productive struggle and how we want to work and learn long-term. Sheryl will share experiences and principles for how we might navigate our evolving design approach.
