Writing

The role of design in defense technology Designing products for a world that changed Clarity over cleverness The designer's role in ethical AI What I learned from designing systems that can't fail Design reviews are broken Autonomy and trust: designing human-AI partnerships Why European tech needs its own design language The case for boring design Building a design team in a company that didn't have one Speed as a design principle What consumer tech gets wrong about AI interfaces Designing for operators, not users The myth of the 10x designer Why defense needs designers What the military taught me about feedback loops Designing for zero onboarding time Hiring designers who can think in systems The interface is the strategy Prototyping at the speed of conflict Why I left consumer tech for defense The product designer's guide to working with ML engineers Design debt is real and you're ignoring it Stop designing for edge cases first Information density is not complexity
