The digital design landscape is shifting towards a factory model, redefining roles and metrics of success in software development.

Software development

AI will make software development so inexpensive that SaaS companies risk self-destruction through commoditization, while simultaneously disrupting the complex user interfaces that knowledge workers depend on daily.

I pull together concepts and experiences from my lived expertise to formulate a point of view - in this case, on this new AI technology.

AI Prototyping Tools: Why Control Matters As Much As Speed

AI prototyping tools enhance design validation by enabling high-fidelity, user-testable prototypes that require refinement beyond initial generation.

Who are we really designing for?

Designing effectively requires distinguishing between the individual User and the collective Customer.

The UX ground is shaking, synthetic users, building perspective

A clear design perspective is crucial; it defines what to exclude, ensuring focus on what truly matters.

Design has been solving the wrong problem

Design should prioritize real-life usability over aesthetic appeal to enhance long-term satisfaction with products.

Against cleverness

Today we are at the cusp of revolutions in artificial intelligence, autonomous vehicles, renewable energy, and biotechnology. Each brings extraordinary promise, but each introduces more complexity, more interdependence, and more latent pathways to failure. This elevates prudence to be critical. Good design recognizes what cannot be foreseen. It acknowledges the limits of prediction and control. It builds not merely for performance, but for recovery.

The Design Vibeshift

Something's been slowly shifting in the design zeitgeist. I've been watching my feed on X and the vibe has changed. More and more, I see designers sharing finished experiments or prototypes they coded themselves, rather than static Figma files. Moving from working on a canvas to talking to an LLM. The conversation isn't "here's a design I made" anymore... it's "here's something I shipped this afternoon."
