Talk details
Death of the Wireframe
About this talk
The talk opens with a live AI generation demo of a UI built from a single prompt, on stage. I then ask the room: Was that output worse than your last sprint? That question leads to the crux: When generation is free, judgment becomes the bottleneck.From there the talk shifts from diagnosis to toolkit of four designer-native artifacts that bring judgment into every AI-assisted project: The Brief, The Guardrails, The Scorecard, and The Taste Library.Part three addresses the leadership question directly: which teams survive, which don't, and how to reorganise around the work that remains valuable.The talk closes with a provocation for Indian design leadership, that the age-old hierarchy placing Western strategy above Asian execution was built on a distinction AI just deleted. Whoever has the strongest taste, regardless of which side of the world they're on, now wins.
Key takeaway
- How to write a Design Brief that constrains AI output rather than leaving it to pattern-match toward the average.
- How to build a Taste Library that bakes your team's design DNA into every generation.
- How to replace subjective design reviews with a Scorecard that makes critique structured and less political.
- How to audit your team's deliverables and reorganise around the work that survives when generation costs nothing.
- Why Indian design leadership is uniquely positioned to lead not follow the post-wireframe era.
