Armina Stone

A look back at the conversations that brought Pittsburgh’s design community together.

From the evolution of local design, to personal growth as creatives, to navigating AI and the digital future — each edition of The Armina + Design Connection has been rooted in one thing: creating space for meaningful dialogue.

We’re grateful to everyone who has joined us, shared perspectives, and helped shape these conversations along the way. This is only the beginning.

Last night was a success—and a reminder of how powerful conversation can be when the right people are in the room.

Design in the Digital Age brought together designers, creatives, and industry leaders for an honest dialogue around AI, social media, personal branding, and the future of our industry. And what became clear throughout the night is that conversations like these are no longer optional—they’re essential.

It’s exciting to see how a subject like artificial intelligence can open new perspectives, spark ideas, and create real opportunities for the design world.

As we close this edition of The Armina + Design Connection, we simply want to say thank you.

Thank you to our moderator, speakers, guests, and everyone who joined us, shared insights, asked questions, and helped make the evening what it was. And special thank you to our sponsor MSI Pittsburgh and PCHT.

This community—and these conversations—are just getting started.
