Design Philosophy
As AI becomes increasingly capable of generating content, products, and experiences, the role of design is shifting from designing artifacts to designing the conditions under which they are generated.
I see a fundamental connection between this emerging paradigm and constraint-based thinking. Rather than specifying a single solution, designers can define goals, values, constraints, and boundaries that shape a design space, allowing AI to explore and generate within it.
My background in computer science, design engineering, business consulting, and cognitive and behavioral science has led me to explore the intersection of human understanding, design constraints, and AI generation.
In the age of agentic AI, design increasingly means designing not only what AI creates, but the conditions, constraints, behaviors, and relationships through which AI creates.
