Exploring what it means to design in the age of AI
Send me a tool, link, thought, or rabbit hole that’s been shaping how you see AI
I’ve been interested in how AI products are shifting from “tools you ask” to systems that quietly accumulate context over time.
This paper I recently came across explored on-device multimodal memory — essentially AI systems that remember fragments of your digital life locally and retrieve them later without relying heavily on cloud storage.
The UX implication: we may soon spend less time prompting AI and more time managing trust.

Jessica Kende has been openly exploring what it means to code as a designer, and I’ve really enjoyed following that journey in public.
She designs on the Adobe Lightroom team, so it’s refreshing to see someone experienced approach vibecoding and frontend development with curiosity instead of pretending to already have all the answers. It feels honest, experimental, and real to how a lot of designers are actually navigating AI right now.

What stayed with me from this piece was the idea that AI itself isn’t flattening creativity but the optimized interfaces might be.
As designers, we’ve spent years removing friction wherever possible. But some friction is useful. It encourages reflection, and creates space for original thinking instead of instant output.
