Research on design, AI, and the changing profession.
I investigate how generative tools affect the structural variety of interfaces and what role specification may play. In the published pilot, five unmediated runs repeated the same hierarchy, while designer prompts were associated with more variation. The sample is small and descriptive. This page collects the paper, talks and the book in production, with each work's status stated.
