    Where Does Design Go From Here

    AI can now write code and turn out passable visual and interaction design for anyone with a $20 subscription. So where does the design industry go from here? In this episode of New Layer, Jasmine and Tanner start with Mills Baker's "Designer Duds" and Jon Schlossberg's response, "Design Doesn't Deserve a Seat at the Table," which separates design's perceived value from a business's real value. They ask whether taste and judgment are enough to keep designers essential when AI can produce 40 directions in the time it takes to make two, and how the lines between design, engineering, and product keep blurring. They also discuss the risk of handing research and foundations to AI, why product design has never been about pushing pixels, and what designers can do with the time AI gives back: take bigger swings, play more, and return to the place where business and design meet.

    Navigating Rapid Change

    When everything in tech seems to change at once, how do you keep up without feeling behind? In this episode of New Layer, Jasmine and Tanner talk about getting through rapid industry change. They cover replacing fear with curiosity, keeping a beginner's mind, and taking a "low and slow" approach that values watching and listening over racing ahead. They also discuss how AI can overturn established workflows overnight, the pressure to deliver high-fidelity prototypes in a week, and why measuring your career by what you learn may matter more than promotions. Designers may also have an advantage here: we're trained to treat change as a user problem to solve.

    When to Call it Quits

    We are indefinitely calling it "quits" on New Layer, this is potentially our last episode. When is the right time to call something "quits?" Quitting never feels good, it even has many negative connotations surrounding it, but sometimes stepping away from something is the best thing you can do for it and yourself. For the New Layer podcast, the time has come for Jasmine and Tanner to step away. Learn more in this short episode.

    Dealing with Ambiguity

    What is ambiguity and why do product designers talk about it so often? A listener to the podcast emailed us for help on the subject, so we obliged. Whether you're just starting out in your career and hear the term come up often, or have been designing for a while and are still unsure of what it means to deal with ambiguity, this episode we talk about it all. Note: Jasmine was overcoming a sickness on this episode so is a little cough-y. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/new-layer/support
