Design Process Isn't Dead, It’s Compressed As AI speeds up design work, the argument to "throw out the process" misrepresents how experienced designers work.

"Trust your intuition" sounds empowering until you remember intuition takes years to build. Process isn't the enemy — skipping it without experience is.

How AI Literacy Shapes GenAI Use Using generative AI often doesn’t mean using it well. AI literacy requires both prompt fluency and the ability to assess outputs.

You can be fluent at prompting and still terrible at evaluating what AI gives you back. That gap is where it’s important to understand AI literacy.

#AI

Only 3 out of 10 participants said an AI interview felt natural. Long silences, interruptions, and "Wow, brilliant!" for mundane answers made it awkward.

What UX Consulting Clients Expect in the Age of AI Clients still seek strong judgment and critical thinking, research rigor, and respect for real-world and user constraints from UX consultants.

Clients are not asking for AI slop from expert UX consultants. They want research rigor, sound judgment, and practical recommendations.

AI-Moderated Interviews: If, When, and How to Use Them AI interviews offer faster feedback at scale, but they're not a replacement for in-depth, human-led semistructured interviews.

Convenience comes with tradeoffs. AI interviewers can't pivot in real time, read the room, or follow unexpected threads — and that's exactly what discovery research demands.

Sympathy says: "I feel for you."
Empathy says: "I feel with you."

In UX, that subtle difference changes everything about what we design.

Your Design System Needs an Enforcer Although design systems promise consistency, most still fail without someone actively enforcing the rules and making teams follow them.

Design systems don't fail because they're poorly built. They fail because nobody's empowered to enforce them.

Accelerating Research with AI AI can speed up certain research tasks but is currently most helpful in the planning and analysis stages.

AI isn't replacing UX researchers. But it can help with planning, note-taking, data cleaning, and creating deliverables.

The key is knowing where it helps and where it falls short.

Why So Many Info Tips Are Bad (and How to Make Them Better) Information tips can clarify complex UIs, but they should not hide essential information, trigger redundant information, or disrupt the current workflow.

Info tips should clarify, not compensate. If you're using them to hide essential content, patch bad labels, or dump walls of text — that's not a tip, it's a band-aid.
