I was reading Macintosh Human Interface Guidelines from 1992 and found this nice illustration:

Hey there, we’re Ryan, Federico, and Robin, a trio designers who have noticed an undercurrent of change in the design world. AI is taking over software, and as it does, the demands on its designers are changing. AI is squishy and has a mind of its own, so designing AI-first products feels less like designing for print or HTML, and more like working with some kind of alien intelligence that crash-landed on Earth….

Most tools promise speed. The real change is precision — when AI can finally follow your design logic instead of guessing it.

Kyle Zantos is leading the new UX Tools Labs where he’s responsible for figuring out what matters for new design tools and workflows.

How we balanced speed and quality to build MTCHMKR, a consumer-grade SaaS product for brand partnerships

A look at how Dylan blends visual design, UX, and motion to build expressive, experience-rich websites, powered by tools like Webflow, GSAP, and curiosity.

By late 2025, the internet’s greenhouse gas output is projected to surpass the aviation industry. If you are reading this, you likely already know that “sustainable web design” has graduated from a niche ethical preference to a central operational requirement.

Video games have come a long way since 1958, when American physicist William Higinbotham debuted Tennis for Two, a bare-bones tennis game played via aluminum controllers on an oscilloscope—a machine that displays electrical signals—at a public exhibition. Even as games moved into arcades and personal gaming systems, they remained relatively simple. From Pong (1972), to PAC-MAN (1980), to Super Mario Bros (1983), early games didn’t have much of a user interface….

Developing effective agentic AI requires a new research playbook. When systems plan, decide, and act on our behalf, UX moves beyond usability testing into the realm of trust, consent, and accountability. Victor Yocco outlines the research methods needed to design agentic AI systems responsibly.

One of the most formative experiences in my career was working for a leader who did the hard work to shape a couple of workstreams, assign owners, and, most importantly, push us hard to build good habits and tempo. It wasn’t easy, by any means. We operated this way for a full year, and the results were incredible (and personally very rewarding).
