AI moves fast, but meaning moves the needle.

🎙️ I recently appeared on That Pivotal Moment of Change podcast, hosted by Ryan Leffel. We covered a lot of ground, including:
• The emotional reality of leadership and layoffs
• What design needs to do right now to stay relevant in the age of AI
• Why curiosity and discomfort are critical to growth

The next generation of builders won’t be just designers, PMs, or engineers.
