Tech Talks with Micaela Dixon, Senior Product Designer at Picsart

Women in tech are often conditioned to justify everything. Every side project needs a business case. Every new skill needs to serve someone else's roadmap. Every idea needs sign-off before it's worth pursuing.

What if you just… built something? Because you wanted to?

In this talk, Micaela shares how she went from a designer who always needed a developer to someone who ships her own ideas using AI tools, not for a promotion or a portfolio, but just because she could.

She'll walk through what she's built, how she did it, and why giving yourself permission to create without a purpose might be the most powerful career move you never planned.
This talk isn't about productivity, but about taking up space. And, whether you're a designer, developer, PM, or somewhere in between, there will be something for you.

The talk will be accompanied by food, drinks, and networking with brilliant women in tech across all career levels.
