AI is reshaping what designers build — and how they build it. Our May edition digs into both sides of that shift.

As AI systems evolve from tools into collaborators, a new set of design questions comes with them: how do you build confidence without overpromising? How do you keep users in control without overwhelming them? And how do you move from a good idea to something real before the moment passes? We'll explore how to design systems people can actually trust — and how new workflows are helping teams prototype, decide, and ship faster than ever.

🎤 Klaudia Skiba — “Calibrated Confidence: Designing Trust in AI Products”

Trust in AI isn't a feeling — it's a design decision. Klaudia will unpack how we measure and shape user confidence in AI products, from the subtle signals of over-trust to the craft of designing for something more honest: calibrated trust. She'll tackle the tension between safety and agency head-on, showing how to protect users without stripping them of control. The goal isn't to make people trust AI more. It's to design systems worth trusting.

🎤 Izzy Białkowska — “Collaborative Prototyping with Figma Make”

Great ideas have a habit of dying quietly in Figma — buried in drafts, lost in comments, never quite tested. Izzy's here to change that. She'll walk through real stories of using Figma Make to move faster and more confidently, share concrete tips on working with AI rather than around it, and give a peek into her day-to-day AI-assisted design setup. Because in 2025, the work isn't just judged by the pixels — it's judged by how quickly you can turn an insight into something real.
