Description

Women In Design evening is comprising 2 events at the Dancing Goats, Ponce City Market. 6-7pm: Designing a New Essential Service - Building and Leading Instacart's Design Team in Unprecedented Times In her ADF talk, Whitney Homans, Director of Content Design, shares lessons the Instacart team learned about hiring, managing, and leading high performing design teams during unprecedented times. She’ll walk you through designing in a crisis and creating an environment and culture that attracts and invigorates top design talent–all while working faster and on more complex problems than ever before, from makeshift home offices and crowded kitchen tables. 7-8pm: Production Design with Major Art Department’s Hannah Meachin With clients ranging from Usher and Elton John to Food Network and Mercedes Benz, Hannah will share every aspect of building her career as a young female production designer, including the unique creative process she goes through when developing sets and how that process differs depending on content, client, and budget. She will also talk about what inspired her to launch Major Art Department, a set design and prop fabrication company run and operated primarily by women.
