Product Design

People form an opinion of a product in about 0.05 seconds, before they read a word or click anything. That decision is driven almost entirely by visual cues. Visual design isn’t polish; it’s how trust, clarity, and patience are established before real engagement begins.

AI is reshaping technology, but it hasn’t rewritten human nature. Too many products forget that, relying on manipulative UX patterns that inflate short-term metrics and erode long-term trust. Durable growth doesn’t come from tricking users into sign-ups; it comes from earning their confidence. The next generation of AI tools will win by designing with clarity, transparency, and respect.

If you’ve ever told a designer to “make it pretty,” this public service announcement is for you. Spoiler: it’s not about glitter.
