    When the Double Diamond Meets Machine Speed

    Two years before ChatGPT became a household name, Whitney Tolley was already seeing the cracks in how UX teams approached design thinking. Writing for the Cloudbeds Technology Blog in early 2023, she challenged the conventional wisdom around the Double Diamond—that beloved framework UX practitioners have relied on for nearly two decades. In this conversation, Whitney reveals how AI has transformed her team's approach to design thinking. When a strategic workshop agenda became obsolete mid-session, AI helped them redesign day two in 30 minutes. When customer insights live in thousands of recorded conversations, AI helps surface the human stories that shape what they build. Essential listening for UX professionals navigating AI disruption without losing what makes them valuable. Additional advice on how to manage your UX career from Whitney.

    UX Evolved Intro

    Every UX professional is asking the same question right now: Is AI going to evolve our craft, or replace it entirely? I'm Eric Ellis, and I've spent twenty years designing through every major technology shift—from static wireframes to AI-powered experiences. Here's what I know: UX was never just about the tools. It's about understanding human needs and translating them into experiences that actually work. UX Evolved brings you in-depth conversations with the veterans who've navigated disruption before. We're cutting through the AI hype to explore what really matters—how our profession adapts, what skills endure, and why human insight remains irreplaceable. This isn't about learning the latest AI tool. It's about understanding how to thrive as technology reshapes everything we thought we knew about design. UX is evolving, not dying. Let's figure out how together.
