How to prompt like a designer.

July 20, 2026 at San Francisco in San Francisco, CA

Every startup's product looks like it was designed by the same depressed robot ๐Ÿ™„ Minimalist. Purple gradient buttons. A hero section that says "The future of [blank] is here." You know what I'm talking about. In this hands-on workshop, you'll learn from an ex-Dropbox, award-winning product designer (Kathy Wang) how to prompt like a designer. Youโ€™ll walk away with: ๐Ÿ‘‰ ๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐˜€๐—ถ๐—ด๐—ป ๐˜€๐˜๐˜†๐—น๐—ฒ๐˜€ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—ป๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐˜ (neo-brutalism, vaporwave, glassmorphism...heard of them?) ๐Ÿ‘‰ ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐˜๐—ฎ๐—ฝ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—บ๐—ฝ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ต๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐—ธ๐˜€ (design psychology, Nikita-Bier-style) ๐Ÿ‘‰ ๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐—ฝ๐—ถ๐—ฑ ๐—ฝ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐˜๐—ผ๐˜๐˜†๐—ฝ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐—ต๐—ป๐—ถ๐—พ๐˜‚๐—ฒ๐˜€ (the playbook Kathy used to win 2nd place at a Manus hackathon with 5 minutes of work) After all, your product should look like a human made it...not a depressed robot. This is not a panel. Itโ€™s a founder-led workshop in a bar, designed to go deep on one topic so you leave with real takeaways. Come for the lesson, stay for the conversations after. About Kathy Wang Kathy Wang is the co-founder of Press Club, an AI-powered PR platform helping early-stage founders land press coverage. A Cornell-trained designer, she previously worked at IBM, Dropbox, and Snorkel AI, and won a Red Dot: Best of the Best design award.

San Francisco as a โ€œvenueโ€ usually means the event could be in a private dining room, a historic building, or a coworking or gallery-style space somewhere in the city. Tech and founder dinners like the Junto series often use private clubs or reservation-only restaurants, with multi-course meals at shared tables and a set program. Larger mixers such as SF Climate Week happy hours tend to be in central locations with structured check-in, name badges, sponsor signage, and access to nearby paid parking garages, especially around corridors like Van Ness and downtown. more...
