I joined the platform team at Dynatrace a month ago, after the last five years in consumer IoT. One of the first lessons has nothing to do with the technology.

Someone I follow posted about flying to Mexico, borrowing a 9.0, and paddling out before sunrise to catch the biggest wave of his life.

Generation is the most visible thing LLMs do, so it's what gets reached for even for parts already solved by a database, an API, or plain code.

Every few months, someone identifies the part of design that AI cannot touch. The answer is almost always aesthetic judgment.

You can deploy the most capable model available and still watch adoption stall. The tool is rarely the issue.

I've been testing AI tools since GPT-3. Midjourney, Copilot, ChatGPT, Cursor. Some were impressive. Most were good for demos, not for building real products.

Good design has always been about solving real problems in an intuitive and human way.

In the digital age, the product designer's role has evolved from just aesthetics and functionality to actively shaping how people work with technology.

When I joined Electrolux in 2021 as a product designer, I thought I had a good idea of what was ahead. I had already worked with connected products at Audi, but I soon realised that shaping digital experiences for appliances was a whole different story.

My passion for climbing began early in my childhood. I loved reaching the tops of trees, bouldering the largest rocks on hiking tours, and climbing anything and everything.

Nothing annoys your stakeholders more as a designer than getting clear requirements and coming up with something that does not meet their needs.

Climbing has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. What hooked me early on wasn't only the movement on the wall, but the puzzles hidden in every route and the mindset it takes to push through.
