In this episode, Alex sits down with Donald to unpack what it means to design for an agentic future—especially in high-stakes categories like financial services. Donald argues that while design principles have always existed, AI makes them non-optional: teams need to return to first principles constantly as products shift from static screens to adaptive, sometimes non-visual experiences. He also predicts a major workflow inversion: AI enables near-instant prototyping, so organizations can move from idea to experience in minutes, and then refine design intentionally rather than waiting for a long build cycle.
