If you've been curious about how AI will impact your design practice (and who isn’t?), this episode is a must-listen. Kimberley sits down with Nithya Subramaniam, a trained architect who’s transitioned into product and experience design. Nithya shares how design professionals can harness AI to boost creativity, streamline workflows, and maximize profitability. Rather than replacing us, AI is here to enhance our work—helping you create smarter designs, automate repetitive tasks, and elevate the client experience. AI is here to stay, and you’ll want to be ready to embrace it. In this episode we learn: - AI in design supports—not replaces—designers through automation, better workflows, and smarter features. - AI tools generate spatial solutions that meet specific needs, from light exposure to landscaping. - Unlike traditional design, AI lets you iterate and adapt in real time. - With data integration, AI enables future-focused design, from climate adaptation to sustainable materials. - AI agents optimize resources, track carbon impact, and streamline timelines for efficiency.
