This is a really well-written piece that pulls the AI + design concepts neatly together. Sharang Sharma, writing in UX Collective:
As AI reshapes how we work, I’ve been asking myself, it’s not just how to stay relevant, but how to keep growing and finding joy in my craft.
In my learning, the new shift requires leveraging three areas
1. AI tools: Assembling an evolving AI design stack to ship fast
2. AI fluency: Learning how to design for probabilistic systems
3. Human-advantage: Strengthening moats like craft, agency and judgment to stay ahead of automation
Together with strategic thinking and human-centric skills, these pillars shape our path toward becoming an AI-native designer.
Sharma connects all the crumbs I’ve been dropping this week:

AI tools + AI fluency + human advantage = AI-native designer
From tools to agency, is this what it would take to thrive as a product designer in the AI era?
