After launching the AI Playbook for Design Teams in mid-October, I’ve been fielding a lot of great questions and facilitating ongoing discussions with leaders in design.

There are no experts on the future of design yet. here are no experts on the future of design yet. We’re all in the same boat, so let’s take advantage of that fact and be in it together.
