Join us for a virtual lunchtime talk with Jules Sherman, winner of the 2025 National Design Award in Product Design, as she reflects on how her design practice has evolved over the past decade. Drawing from her work in medical device design and healthcare innovation, Sherman will share the fundamentals of her process—tracing her early use of hand-drawn sketches to her current use of AI tools. She will also discuss what it means to design for patients and families, and how designers can better understand and serve the people at the heart of their work. After her presentation, Sherman will have an intimate conversation with Amber Bravo, who leads Story Studio at Figma, a cloud-based digital design and collaboration tool that Sherman uses in her human-computer interaction studies. Together, they’ll discuss AI’s role in supporting a designer’s need for speed and integration while breaking down barriers to using various software and coding tools.
