TRACK 8

A Taste For Design (In The Age Of AI)

Learn how to sharpen judgment, ask smarter design questions, and balance speed with quality where it matters most.

Here is what we will discuss during the meetings

The new design landscape: How AI shifts the craft of design and why taste now matters more than dexterity.
Cultivating taste: Practical ways to build, refine, and transfer your design sensibility into AI-augmented work.
Sharper questions, better outcomes: How to frame UX/design questions that AI can’t resolve for you.
Taste as pragmatism: Balancing quality, speed, and client expectations — avoiding the trap of bland shortcuts or unsustainable over-polish.
