Still curious...
What excites me most about any project is the questions, the what ifs, the exploration of ideas with people to arrive at the destination that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing to the end user.
With AI now everywhere I don't believe this has changed the approach. Sure it can code superbly, design well and get us there faster. But only with proper design conversations first. Basically the GIGO (Garbage In, Garbage Out) computing principle rings true now for me more than ever.
Design and UX got too bloated, and an academia cloud came over the industry, where people would focus more on the process than the work itself. If you work in tech you know what I mean. This devalued the effect of design on companies by selling process over outcomes.
I want to be in teams that communicate, work together and build interesting products.
