Apple's WWDC 2025 will center on iOS 19 and unified design principles expected to create visual consistency across iOS, macOS, iPadOS, watchOS, and visionOS.

Meta CTO Andrew "Boz" Bosworth shared 10 rules at Figma Config 2025 for navigating design's next shift. He urged starting with human problems, questioning old constraints, and rethinking current interaction models. Key points: know when to invent vs. optimize, build many prototypes, and design complete systems, not parts. He envisions disappearing interfaces and tools with a theory of mind and uses iteration in products and personal growth.
Badberries' first year underscores the importance of managing the “invisible client”—the internal demands of running a business that compete with client-facing work for time and focus.

Sustaining business and creative growth requires balancing daily execution and strategic planning.
Though technically strong, a demo of an AI interview tool underscored issues with design interview questions that assume ideal conditions like full research support.
