A conference presentation exploring lessons from the AI frontier — how design teams can navigate the rapid evolution of AI tools, processes, and culture.
Canonical source: presentation/talk.md (slides + speaker notes). Edit this file first, then sync presentation/app/src/slides.ts.
Five sections, three points each:
- Garbage in, garbage out — organisational context, personal context, specificity & iteration
- Quality is a team sport — slowing down to speed up, trust & safety, dogfooding
- Strategic alignment matters — convergent thinking, knowing when not to use AI, hard problems unlock value
- Right tool for the job — design process evolution, design systems as leverage, design commitments
- Get AI to do your dishes — design systems & code, content design agents, the second brain
- React + TypeScript + Vite — presentation app
- Custom ASCII shader — WebGL2 shader that renders images and patterns as animated ASCII art
- CRT pixel shader — green phosphor monochrome treatment for modal images and video
- CSS CRT effects — scanlines, vignette, and retro power-on/off animations
