THE RETURN OF THE INTUITIVE DESIGNER IN THE AGE OF AI

Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

Great designers stand out through intuition—tacit, experience-built judgment that helps them navigate ill-defined problems and arrive at elegant solutions—and this human skill is becoming more important as AI automates process-driven, de-skilled parts of design. As tools get better at producing outputs, designers who develop intuition through experience, taste, understanding people and systems, and collaborative play will be best equipped to choose, curate, and imagine genuinely new solutions.
