Beyond the Buzzword: How Design Firms Are Actually Using AI Today

AI is changing the way we work — but beyond the headlines, what does that actually look like inside a design firm?

On October 1 at 1:00 PM, Jenna will be at RUE IV during Fall Market for the inaugural conversation in their Fireside Chats series.

Moderated by Hadley Keller Lloyd, Director of Editorial & Community Engagement at the Design Leadership Network. A longtime design editor and writer who has spent more than a decade covering interiors, design, and the people shaping the industry, Hadley brings a unique perspective on how emerging ideas are changing the way design firms think, work, and do business.

Featuring Jenna Gaidusek, Founder of AI for Interior Designers™, and Anne Gillyard, Co-Founder, CEO, and Creative Director of GROH!

Jenna has built her business at the intersection of technology and interior design, helping designers understand how to use AI as a practical tool and teaching the industry how to integrate emerging technology into their businesses and creative processes.

Together, they'll move the conversation beyond the buzzwords and into the realities of practice — exploring real workflows, creative development, client communication, team adoption, ethics, and how design firms are beginning to integrate AI into their everyday work.

Expect practical demos, real firm examples, and candid conversation about where AI fits into the future of design.
