I had the pleasure of attending the Design with SwiftUI talk by Philip Davis and Will Danner in person at the Apple Developer Center in Cupertino.
I spent some time observing and understanding how to meaningfully integrate AI to improve the product experience, and I’ve shared my insights in this blog.
I also wrote about how to approach AI implementation from a design perspective—so that AI features remain human-centric.

LLMs are actually a great medium for note-taking.
I usually drop in my notes, ideas, and helpful links—and whenever I need them, I just ask the AI to retrieve the information.
I can also see this being a helpful way to document design decisions, build knowledge bases and references.

Great talk on virtual reality by Caitlin Krause ( Author of MindWise®, Educator at Stanford ) and Angel Say ( CEO of Resolve ) at the Silicon Valley Virtual Reality event.
I also had a great time exploring XR demos by designers and developers. Got to to try a AVPro game Huy Le.
