SUMMARY:Taste Makers: Women In Food Design | NYCxDesign
DESCRIPTION:IDSA Women in Design NYC invites you to a celebration of women industrial designers whose practice lives at the intersection of food and design. Join us at the Museum of Food and Drink for a conversation with women working at the forefront of both fields\, and connect with a community of designers shaping what comes next.\n\n\nOur panelists bring perspectives that span hospitality\, social innovation\, and multi-sensory experience design: \nMarjorie Artieres is a French-born Creative Director and Partner at Pinch Food Design. Trained in Industrial Design at Central Saint Martins\, she brings a design-led approach to hospitality\, creating immersive “food furniture” experiences that blend form\, function\, and flavor. Since joining Pinch in 2016\, she has been shaping the company’s vision – redefining how people gather\, eat\, and interact through design. \nAmanda Huynh is a food and product designer focused on social innovation\, community-building\, and sustainable futures. Her work explores food design as a tool for dignity\, participation\, and care and her research spans topics in aging\, co-design\, and embodied play. She has taught and lectured internationally and currently leads the Industrial Design major area as an Associate Professor in the Department of Design at The Ohio State University. \nEmilie Baltz has spent over 20 years pioneering multisensory experience design in America. Her work\, shown at the Cooper Hewitt\, the New Museum\, and the Museum of the Future in Dubai\, starts from the premise that the most powerful experiences are designed for all the senses. She is the author of the award-winning L.O.V.E FOODBOOK and a founding faculty member of the Products of Design MFA at the School of Visual Arts. \nModerated by WID NYC Co-Chair Hannah Berkin-Harper. \nThis panel\, created in partnership with the MOFAD\, is part of a collaborative series between IDSA NYC and WID NYC\, using the five senses as a framework to explore how sensory-driven approaches shape the way we experience\, interpret\, and design the world around us. \nAfter the panel\, stay after for a WID NYC meet up and engage with our amazing community of women and non-binary designers.

SUMMARY:Designed in Cleveland 2026 - Materials & Making
DESCRIPTION:Hello Cleveland designers! On Thursday\, June 11th IDSA Cleveland will be having its fifth annual Designed in Cleveland event at LAND’s factory and studio on Cleveland’s west side. This year’s theme\, Materials & Making\, explores how designers approach material choices\, manufacturing\, fabrication\, and the systems that allow others to create.

SUMMARY:Deck Roulette | Women in Design
DESCRIPTION:Storytelling is pivotal in industrial design\, but in reality presentations can be an obstacle course of glitchy prototypes\, unpredictable stakeholders\, and last-minute slide edits. Women in Design Seattle (WID-SEA) invites you to a night where we throw the script out the window to celebrate the grit\, wit\, and improv skills it takes to survive a presentation that has gone off the rails. \nFour brave designers will take the stage to present a product concept. The catch? They’ve never seen the slides before. Cheer on our speakers as they boldly try to stick the landing while piecing together the story in real time. It’s high-energy\, low-stakes\, and a lot of fun. \nCome for the chaos\, stay for the community. Join us to grab a drink and connect with local Seattle designers. We’ll have fresh pizza and refreshments provided by our generous hosts at Tactile\, featuring a curated selection of free batch cocktails and delicious non-alcoholic options. Space is limited—please RSVP to reserve your spot! \nDoors open at 6:00 PM and presentations start at 6:45 PM. See you there!

SUMMARY:The Threshold of Other Spaces: A Feminine Framework of Experience Design
DESCRIPTION:Four designers working across scenic design\, computational architecture\, XR research\, and virtual curation is a night of discussion. \nOn July 28th\, WID Chicago and WID NYC will host The Threshold of Other Spaces: A Feminine Framework of Experience Design. This will be the first\, and certainly not the last\, cross-chapter panel\, bringing together womxn designers working at the intersection of scenic design\, computational architecture\, XR research\, and virtual curation. \nThe spaces we design are never neutral. A stage\, a building\, and virtual rooms all carry the assumptions\, values\, and imagination of their designers. Which raises a question worth sitting with: Whose imagination has been shaping the environments we all move through? \nThe conversation will move from individual practice to systemic reality to a speculative future – what we build today\, where we exist\, and who we become in the futures we design. \nHosted live inside the XR Women Museum. \nFree and open to designers of all backgrounds. \nWe will send the virtual event link the day before the event. \nJoin us on July 28\, 6:00 PM CT / 7:00 PM ET.
