SUMMARY:Agentic AI Design Workshop: From Play to Prototype
DESCRIPTION:Calling all design-curious\, AI-curious\, and anyone who has wanted to see what designing an intelligent system actually looks like\, end to end. \nSpend 90 minutes at California College of the Arts workshopping the full arc of designing an AI agent. In three activities — Enact\, Author\, Deploy — small groups of 3–6 bodystorm a scenario\, write the behavioral rules in role cards\, and see their agent run live on Agent Studio. By the end\, you’ll have designed\, specified\, and tested a working AI together. No coding required\, just curiosity and a willingness to play. \nYou’ll walk away with a QR code linking to the AI your group built\, and a real sense of how this kind of design happens. \nAI’s design draws on many hands. This session shows what’s possible when more of those hands are yours. \n  \nWorkshop Fee: $15.00 \nRefreshment will be provided. \nDate\, Time: June 10\, 2026 / 2 pm – 3:30 p.m. \nLocation: Simpson Family Makers Building\, N203 (Upper Level) \n  \nHosted by California College of the Arts’ Design Division. \nCalifornia College of the Arts cultivates ideas\, industry\, and impact in the progressive San Francisco Bay Area\, educating our students as global changemakers through purposeful practice and critical discourse. The Design Division at CCA advances contemporary practice by positioning the designer as a dynamic agent of cultural\, social\, and ecological change. \nHosted by TJ McLeish\, faculty in the MDes Interaction Design program\, and graduate students in his Prototyping with AI studio. \n

SUMMARY:Human-Centered Design in an AI World
DESCRIPTION:As AI evolves\, human skills like judgment\, creativity\, and clarity of intent are more critical than ever. This discussion explores how designers are becoming “AI fluent\,” treating models as strategic partners to shape tone and character with the same precision once reserved for grid systems. While AI can generate a thousand variations\, human taste remains the essential filter to ensure the final product never misses the mark. \nNote: We will not be accepting any walk-ins for this event.

SUMMARY:Chair Exploded: Installation Debut and Talk
DESCRIPTION:Enter the world of the great mid-century modern designer Niels Diffrient. Longtime collaborator of Henry Dreyfuss\, Eero Saarinen and Marco Zanuso\, Diffrient was a lead figure in the field of ergonomics. \nArtist and designer Elijah Ezralow’s “Chair Exploded” explores a new perspective on the internal design of Humanscale seating. \nSuspended chair parts are deconstructed to reveal the function\, geometry\, and material of each component. Discover the striking relationship to human anatomy; its neck\, exoskeleton\, and fulcrums suggest a design derived directly from the body itself. \nAt 6pm\, join Elijah for a deep dive behind the seats of Diffrient’s iconic works\, exploring from prototype to product how the design philosophy can provide new inspiration. \nAgenda \n5:00pm Doors Open \n6:00pm Speaker \n6:30pm Open Viewing and Informal Q+A \nEnjoy local bites and cold beverages throughout \nAbout the Speaker \nElijah Ezralow graduated Stanford with a BS in Engineering\, Product Design. He has studied design at Art Center\, Pasadena and in Oslo\, Norway. Currently\, he is focused on the design of seating\, with an interest in the engineering and cultural impact behind chairs. Elijah has worked as a product designer with Snap Inc.\, startups including ohyay and Clean Sea Solutions. He is a recipient of the Chappell Lougee Scholarship for his independent documentary film\, “The Model Island”. Installation pieces include works at The Sam Francis Gallery\, The Anderson Collection and XR Studios. \nAbout the Showroom \nIn January\, Humanscale opened the doors to their new San Francisco showroom. Designed in collaboration with renowned architect Such Reddy of Reddy Made Design and featuring textiles by like-minded Kvadrat\, the space brings our human-centered philosophy to life through simplicity\, sustainability\, and movement. Conceived as both a working showroom and a place for the design community to gather\, the space invites you to experience comfort and performance in motion.

SUMMARY:A Week Inside an AI-Native Design Team
DESCRIPTION:A candid evening with our Head of Design and an AI-native designer on how every designer at Gamma now ships prototypes from Claude Code. We’ll walk through the skills we’ve written\, the connectors we rely on\, how we gather context before touching a pixel\, what a real prompting loop looks like\, and how design\, engineering\, and product actually collaborate when the prototype is the spec. Not really theory\, more practical “here’s what’s open on our screens Monday morning.” \n(BYO questions — this will be half talk\, half Q&A.) \n\nNOTE: Attendees will be required to sign an NDA when checking in. If you do not want to sign an NDA\, please let us know ahead of time and we’ll refund your ticket.

SUMMARY:Noz Nozawa x Flexform: "Craft as Culture: A Personal Dialogue with Identity and Design"
DESCRIPTION:This conversation between acclaimed interior designer Noz Nozawa\, and Pete Rodway\, Snr. Partner of Compass\, explores how design can become a lens for understanding personal identity. Reflecting on growing up within an American context while holding a connection to Japanese ancestry\, Nozawa considers how ideas such as restraint\, craft\, material sensitivity\, and discipline can be encountered\, interpreted\, and thoughtfully integrated. In dialogue with traditions such as Italian craftsmanship\, the discussion looks at how cultural influence can inform a practice through observation\, distance\, and personal meaning.

SUMMARY:Me\, You\, and a Robot
DESCRIPTION:What is a robot? Visions of robots span a wide spectrum: from helpful partners that take on tedious or undesirable tasks\, to unsettling replacements that threaten human roles altogether. Headlines in the media and conversations at tech conferences make it clear that robotic technologies are advancing at an unprecedented pace and that robots are here to stay. \nAs designers and engineers\, we can anchor those advancements within the context of human engagement\, interaction\, and emotions. Surgical systems\, assembly lines\, warehouse machines\, personal companions\, appliances\, autonomous vehicles\, and AI-driven software all blur the lines between tool and agent. Stopping short of a dystopian or unrealistic utopian future\, the role of robots in society is open for discussion\, acceptance\, and debate. Join us at PA Consulting during SF Design Week to define the terms — and question them.
