""It might be a sign of changing times and of our industry, it might be a marketing push from the companies betting big on AI. I don't know. But there seems to be a sort of urgency for something new. For speed. For freedom. For paving a new path. For simplicity. For flexibility. A push for something else rather than Design Thinking as the standard design process.""
"What 200+ designers revealed about AI in 2026 →[Sponsored] Designlab surveyed 200+ UX and product designers to understand how AI is shaping real workflows - from research and ideation to prototyping and delivery. See which tools are gaining traction, the biggest challenges teams face, and what's actually working in practice. See the full findings. Editor picks The UX Collective is an independent design publication that elevates unheard design voices and helps designers think more critically about their work."
"Make me think Saying "no" In an age of abundance →"But wait, we have AI now. We don't have to say no to 1,000 things. We can say yes to all the things - generate them all, simultaneously!" The software sovereignty scale →"Digital sovereignty depends less on where software comes from and more on who controls it. This post introduces a scale showing which technologies can never be taken away.""
Design is experiencing urgency for new approaches prioritizing speed, freedom, simplicity, flexibility, and paths beyond traditional Design Thinking. AI adoption is shaping workflows across research, ideation, prototyping, and delivery, with specific tools gaining traction and teams confronting practical challenges. Digital sovereignty depends more on who controls software than on its origin and can be described along a scale indicating which technologies cannot be taken away. Generative AI reduces the need to decline ideas by enabling simultaneous creation, changing decision priorities around quantity and selection. Rising designer-to-engineer hiring ratios create concern about implementation capacity and who will realize the growing volume of design work.
