It’s been a while since I’ve seen everyone sharing Jenny Wen’s interview. However, here’s my view: The design process isn’t dying; it’s being stripped of its “busywork.” For years, we’ve been judged by our production output: wireframes, pixels, and documentation. But today, AI can act as a high-fidelity sketchpad, generating variations faster than we can think of them. So where does that leave the human designer? In my view, we are moving from creators to curators. AI provides the recommendations. You provide the judgment. AI provides the options. You provide the integration. AI provides the speed. You provide the direction. We still use a hypothesis-driven approach. We still iterate. We still test. But we are no longer just “pixel pushers.” We are experience architects who use AI to amplify our reach while maintaining a firm grip on the human “why.” The question is: in an AI-accelerated world, is design craft still about how you make something, or is it now about how you judge what is right for the user? Can a machine ever truly replace the experience judgment required to decide the soul of a product or brand? #DesignStrategy #AI #ExperienceDesign #Leadership #DesignProcess #FutureOfWork

The classic design process is evolving and fast. For African tech innovators, this is a wake-up call: the way we build products, design interfaces, and solve problems is changing globally. Leveraging AI, thinking beyond traditional processes, and embracing new design archetypes could be the key to creating world-class products from Africa. 🌍✨ Tech is no longer about following established playbooks, it’s about adapting, experimenting, and innovating faster than ever. #AfricanTech #Innovation #Design #AI #ProductBuilding #FutureOfWork
