I spent some time observing and understanding how to meaningfully integrate AI to improve the product experience, and I’ve shared my insights in this blog.
I also wrote about how to approach AI implementation from a design perspective—so that AI features remain human-centric.

LLMs are actually a great medium for note-taking.
I usually drop in my notes, ideas, and helpful links—and whenever I need them, I just ask the AI to retrieve the information.

I can also see this being a helpful way to document design decisions, build knowledge bases and references.

In AI-native products, multimodal interactions are becoming more important than ever. I just wrote a blog diving into why multimodal interaction matters right now—and the tools that help designers explore and prototype these experiences. Give it a read #AI #design

Figma needs an AI feature that auto-assigns variables. Manually applying them is so tedious.

Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at how I designed personalities for AI agents. Read more here: https://open.substack.com/pub/johnrodrigues/p/designing-personalities-for-ai-agents?r=9e818&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true #AI #design #AIagents

Same here. See you in town

Unfortunately didn’t get picked for WWDC25 💔 but will be around town for meetups and events.

Maybe will host a visionOS design meetup.

Design is like playing music — we sequence the right chords to create harmony. Similarly, in design, we sequence information through different forms to create value.

Done 😃 keep up the good work.

Build your first VisionOS app Introduction to building apps for Apple Vision Pro

In this blog, I share how to design and build your first visionOS app. If you're curious and interested, check it out here.

#AppleVisionPro #visionOS

Got to see frameworks like 'Feel, See, Do,' storyboarding, level design, and more come together experiences for Apple VisionPro.

Excited to dive deeper into designing for VisionOS!

#Applevisionpro

You don’t always get to see behind the scenes of creating such memorable experiences Apple designs, but in this session, we got a glimpse of how multiple disciplines come together to create products.

I gained some valuable insights on how to design and prototype for Apple Vision Pro.

Had the pleasure of attending 'Create Interactive Stories for VisionOS' at the Apple Developer Center. Feeling inspired after meeting so many creatives, designers and developers building amazing things.

If you are interested in designing and developing for Apple Vision Pro, I have put together a roadmap and a list of resources to help you get started in this blog. Feel free to give it a read!

Figma's split view is very helpful when maintaining different pages for your components. With split view, you can reference the components while working on the main screens.

Also here a sneak peek of Design Quest App in making.

#Figmatips

Great talk on virtual reality by Caitlin Krause ( Author of MindWise®, Educator at Stanford ) and Angel Say ( CEO of Resolve ) at the Silicon Valley Virtual Reality event.

I also had a great time exploring XR demos by designers and developers. Got to to try a AVPro game Huy Le.

I cover concepts such as scale, comfort, visual design, interaction design, and accessibility while designing for spatial computing.

If you plan to design spatial experiences for the upcoming AndroidXR by Google, I have put together this two-part video series on Spatial UI design principles for AndroidXR.

Thank you Apple developer center and all other speakers as well for another great session.

I can’t wait for our design industry to adopt more of this approach to prototyping and creating products that not only solve a problem but also make the experience memorable for users.

I started my prototyping journey with SwiftUI after being inspired by Philip and Will’s approach to integrating SwiftUI into the design process and pushing the limits of interaction design. Great session by Leah Womelsdorf as well on how to create animations with SwiftUI!
