Double Diamond, NYC's favorite live design podcast & event series, is BACK with another night of conversations about designing & building at the frontier.

Our October event brings Alejandro Matamala Ortiz, Mina Fahmi, & Alex Leiphart to the stage to share what they're building & how they think about designing with intelligence.

The Lineup
Alejandro Matamala Ortiz, Co-founder & Chief Innovation Officer at Runway

Alejandro co-founded Runway to build new creative tools for the age of AI, & he leads the company's work on what's next, including Solaris, its research into interfaces that adapt & build themselves around what you're trying to do. Before Runway, he explored AI & creativity as a research resident at NYU.

Mina Fahmi, Co-founder & CEO at Sandbar

Mina is building Stream, Sandbar's private voice ring for capturing thoughts, dictating quietly, & talking through your ideas. He previously developed human-computer interfaces at the MIT Media Lab & at CTRL-labs (acquired by Meta).

Alex Leiphart, Partner & Head of Product at Little Plains

Alex helps lead Little Plains, the New York brand & product studio, where he heads up product. He's pioneering an intelligence-native approach to brand systems, rethinking how brands get built & run when agents are part of the team from day one.

Audience & Curation
Every Double Diamond audience is intentionally curated. We're prioritizing product builders & design leaders who are actively building for & with intelligence. If you're designing products at the frontier of human<>intelligence interaction, or building with agents & emerging tools, you're likely a good fit.

Recording & Sharing
We'll have a professional production crew recording the night. Attendees will receive a link to the recording in the days after the event to share with their teams or on social.

Agenda
6:00 PM ~ 7:15 PM: Arrivals + Happy Hour + DJ

7:15 PM ~ 8:30 PM: Showtime (Alejandro, Mina, & Alex)

8:30 PM - Late: Open Hang + Drinks + DJ
