In this episode of Imran's Podcast, Anjali Desai, a leader in design and AI with decades of experience across Intuit, PayPal, Dell, SAP, and more, and I have a sit-down. We go deep into how tech, design, and human-centered thinking are reshaping the work of tomorrow.
Anjali offers understanding on:
• Why the roles of product designers and product managers are merging — and what skills will be essential.
• In what way is AI both speeding up the opportunity and responsibility for builders?
• The actual distinguishing factors in an AI-first world are critical thinking, craftsmanship, and empathy. These are not only our best attributes but also the attributes that AI will never have.
• The significance of "zero UI" design and what it entails.
• How "zero UI" design is set to revolutionize our digital encounters and redefine them as fluid and natural, without any visible signs of an interface.
• The drawbacks of even the most advanced current interfaces, which still employ some form of visual component to convey information.
• The way that "zero UI" will help to streamline our interactions with the devices we use in every aspect of our lives.
• Pragmatic counsel for fresh graduates and seasoned designers alike on how to distinguish themselves and maintain relevance
Mastering tomorrow is a helter-skelter process of trying to seize and make sense of today’s many unfolding narratives. This conversation is a masterclass in some of the future directions these narratives are likely to take.
