Happy 2025!

Take driving, for instance: the evolution of automobiles has transformed human-car interactions into a significant part of our digital experience. Today, I’m excited to share some key insights and practical guidelines for Automotive UX design.

Know more about your curator

Tell us about one project you’ve worked on that you found particularly interesting or challenging.

I’ve been working on concepts for new AI tools aimed at enhancing daily life, such as meal planning and banking. It’s an exciting yet challenging process.

One of the main challenges is the lack of established examples or pre-existing design patterns, requiring us to define interactions from scratch. Additionally, AI’s versatility makes it difficult to set clear boundaries between the core service and additional functionalities, as it can address so many tasks simultaneously.

 

What emerging technologies or trends are you excited about?

AI is undoubtedly one of the most exciting technologies today. While there’s some concern about its potential to replace jobs, I’m equally intrigued by its possibilities, like having a robot companion at home that can cook and handle household chores. It’s a mix of apprehension and anticipation, and I’m eager to see how the future unfolds.

What hobbies or interests are you passionate about?

I love anime and games. I started to create my own short Webtoons in 2024, if you are interested, here is the collection of my short stories.
