A few years ago I wrote about the upcoming shift from canvas-centric image and video editing tools to object-centric ones. At the time it was mostly early demos and research projects hinting at what object-centric editing interfaces could b…

Large scale AI models can produce an innumerable variety of output (text, images, code). In most applications, though, teams want very specific output aligned with brand, design, and coding guidelines. An intentional steering layer can not

There's a growing sentiment that AI lets you do everyone else's job: designers picking up Claude Code, developers spinning up Figma Make. But maybe the most interesting question isn't "what other jobs can I take on?" but "how do I make the

Today, AI tools are mostly solo sports. Developers write more code. Designers create more images. PMs crank out more docs. That's cool... but it's more cool to work together. So how does that work with AI? Many AI-driven productivity tools

With AI, anyone on a team can generate mockups in minutes. That was never the hard part. The difficult work is, and always has been, maintaining coherency and intention across a product so it works for people, not the other way around. And

About a hundred senior designers and leaders from AI labs, big tech companies, and startups got together in San Francisco last week for the Design Futures Assembly. The public conversation about AI and design tends to live at the extremes:
