As designers, we’re called to initiate, interpret, and interrogate constant and abundant change within our career paths, our organizations, and the industry at large. Moving between these scales of change can be disorienting, requiring new navigational abilities, and demanding intentional stewardship of self, community, and practice. As designers continue to swoon under the thrall of new technological tools and data-driven processes, something is being lost. People are not “users,” efficiency is for robots, and getting the most downloads or likes is not the sole marker of success in design practice. In this presentation, we will explore the impact of internet memes on user behavior and emotional expression, and how technology and social media companies are applying "meme thinking" to their online experience design.
SYLVAIN Design: A Studio In Progress
Tools for collecting history should anticipate a bolder future of design— one we imagine as more vibrant, diverse, and equitable. This workshop will solicit more scholarship in all its forms and from diverse voices, empowering new design histories not currently collected.

Engage & Learn
This presentation looks back at the project’s development; how the system expanded over the years; unique systems that it inspired; and whimsical adaptations of individual icons. Technologically, politically, socially, we live in an age of unprecedented change, experiencing extreme transformation and rapid shifts as never before. These ever-accelerating developments fundamentally affect the way we live, work, create, posing equally major challenges and extraordinary opportunities. Pick up your name badge and say hi to fellow attendees at the lobby of the Sheraton New York Times Square Hotel.

30–11:00 a.m. ET General Session
We are grounded in required information, yet we yearn to tell new stories and fuel new growth. This presentation will share the research method and process from early stages of asking a question–"Where are all the Iranian Women Graphic Designers?"–to investigation, networking, collecting and archiving historical and visual data. We're excited to bring together two titans of museum design who are working with profoundly different systems that sent shockwaves through cultural design when they launched and continue pushing the field today. We look forward to hosting a conversation that envisions a future where AI amplifies human creativity. Discover insights that reframe perceptions and navigate the path to leveraging AI's capabilities while preserving the essence of human innovation.
Certificates for Creatives
Linh Dao’s creative and scholarly research practice recognizes identity discourses as pivotal in theorizing the development and implementation of creative and emerging technology. Her research interests focus on emigration, immigration, and migration, minority equality and accessibility. This workshop is a deep dive into self-reflection and the role it can play in your career, starting with yourself and radiating outwards. After introducing ourselves and wayfinding questions that emerged for us over our careers, attendees will participate in a hands-on activity using a deck of tarot-inspired self-reflection cards.
Yet interactive technologies have been slow to catch up to the needs and wants of this growing group of users. Their distinct yet diverse perspectives are challenging to embrace for designers, especially younger ones. I elaborate on how mindfulness is at play in the conceptualization and design of each application in order to help users find communities, stay on top of their self care, and connect better with their families. Through sharing these results as well as contextual and technical considerations, I shed light on a slower approach to user-centered design for digital products that anticipate our lives as we age.
