072: Design is Dead? (Not So Fast!)

from UXPERTS Hosted by © 2023-2026 | Jason Moore and Ephie Risho | All Rights Reserved Moore+One, LLC.

Join Ephie Risho and Jason Moore as they wade into one of the spiciest UX debates of the year: a bold claim from an Anthropic design leader that the design process is dead. Is it? Or is everyone just… very online right now? They break down the argument, the backlash (including a response from Nielsen Norman Group), and what’s actually changing beneath the noise. They explore how tools like AI-powered coding are reshaping speed, roles, and expectations—and why blindly skipping process might be the fastest way to break things (and your career). Along the way, they unpack: Why AI is compressing design—not replacing it The real danger of “vibe coding” without understanding the problem When moving fast is smart… and when it’s reckless The types of designers who will thrive next Why humility—not tools—is becoming the ultimate career advantage There’s also a healthy dose of reality: enterprise risk, lazy reliance on tools, and the uncomfortable truth that if all you do is push buttons you’re replaceable. Process may not be completely dead, but if you don’t understand it deeply enough to adapt it, you might be. Tune in to unpack the ideas and hear a healthy dose from their personal experiences.
