#162 The Case of the Vanished Judgment

2026/07/16

A designer with 20+ years of experience sits in front of twelve competent, AI-generated screens... and can't evaluate a single one. Not because they're bad. Because something is missing. And the same thing happened to me.In this episode, I investigate this case like a detective story: What was taken from us? Who took it? The answer turned out to be the most hopeful thing I've learned about design in years, disguised as a crisis. Because the comps were never the design. The comps are the artifact

2026/07/08

A client of mine just rebuilt their entire Figma design system — roughly 700 components — as code components in Claude Code. It took one day. And now their designers prototype in code, while Figma has become the tool they open "when they occasionally need to design something."In this episode, I unpack what this story reveals about where our jobs are heading. The "should designers code?" debate is over — but we didn't end it. The job market did. And the way our roles are

Most teams default to chat when they think about adding AI to a product. But chat is just one pattern — and often not the right one. In this episode, Patricia breaks down the four AI interaction patterns every designer needs to know: Advisor, Generator, Agent, and Orchestrator. Each one has a completely different UX logic, a different failure mode, and a different answer to the one question that matters most: who carries the risk when the AI is wrong?Key Learnings:There are four distinct ways AI can

And that lens changes how she sees what’s happening in design right now.Because this isn’t just another tech shift.It’s evolution.In this episode, she breaks down why AI isn’t just changing tools or workflows — it’s creating a real divide between designers who adapt and those who don’t.
