AI didn’t arrive to take our jobs. It arrived to challenge our habits. The old way of designing — sketching, refining, polishing — is evolving into something faster, more fluid, and more conversational. Prompts have become part of the creative process, but the real shift isn’t in tools; it’s in mindset.

Designers are no longer just making visuals — they’re shaping systems of intelligence. The skill now lies in directing machines with clarity, creativity, and intent. AI extends our reach, but it still needs our judgment. The most powerful prompt is not the one that sounds smart, but the one that thinks clearly.

The future of design isn’t human vs. machine. It’s human through machine — a partnership that turns imagination into instant possibility.
