THINGS I WRITE
Good news if you're a designer interested in how #AI can be used to evolve your practice: if you missed my previous "AI Practical Methods" talks, there will be another one on November 7th, 2024!
The format will be similar (full description + free sign up link below) --except this time it will be less "presentation" and more "discussion". So come learn, get inspired and bring all your opinions & burning questions on the topic to this great gathering of the minds.
Hope to see you there! 👋🏼🤖
Artificial intelligence is part of the common discourse nowadays especially thanks to the popularity of services like Chat GPT, Claude, Midjourney or DALL-E.
If you’re a designer, you might be wondering: “How could AI be more useful and applicable for us as practitioners (other than asking questions to a chatbot and generating interesting images)?”
To help answering these questions, I’ve been given the great opportunity to offer a talk on this topic via RETHINK: a dedicated community for design professionals where they can share and learn from each other’s knowledge and experience.
This talk provides a brief overview of understanding the basic of machine learning, algorithms, neural networks and deep learning and how to use this technology and make it useful in your design practice. You will also learn how various AI tools can be used to enhance every step of the commonly-used process of design thinking.
Designers will walk away with a wealth of practical knowledge, and hopefully a peaked interest in learning more about how AI actually works to create compelling AI experiences and future-proof their careers.
The talk will take place on July 25, 2024. You can find more details and instructions to sign up here:

AI (in general, but mainly applied to product design), is a topic I’ve grown very quickly interested in. This is what led me engage in the research that resulted in this talk, so I hope to share with as many of you as possible.
Finally, if you haven’t joined RETHINK, consider using this opportunity to do so. By being a member, you will not only learn from this presentation, but from the various other talks, workshops and members who are part of this great design community.
When I joined a group of friends & fellow designers as part of the organizing committee for the IxDA’s Interaction Awards (think of them as Interaction Design’s very own “Oscars”), I didn’t think we’d have to think about an awards ceremony being entirely remote due to the global pandemic.
I am very proud and excited to announce that a week from today, I will be joining Google as an Interaction Designer.
I’m particularly happy because, not only I’m joining an amazing team, but I’m joining one my “dream” companies.
No matter the industry, most of us can think of a few places that make this list. From before even competing my Masters degree in HCI, Google certainly was in mine.
Joining Google was not easy nor quick. It was, however, a very interesting journey and one I’m happy to share with everyone here.
While we’re all trying to get through this CoronaVirus pandemic in the best we can, many of us are finding ourselves with extra-time while we stay at home to help “flatten the curve”.
One of the things I’ve found myself doing in this period of 4-ish weeks I’ve been mostly indoors is one of the things I love to do with my free time: music.
