Hollywood called it.

"Electric Dreams" predicted emotional AI companions in 1984.
"The Terminator" framed the alignment problem before anyone had a name for it.
"The Matrix" made AI an invisible infrastructure โ€” not a villain, a system.
"Multiplicity" showed us what happens when you copy a copy of a copy.

We watched all of it. We just didn't think it was a documentary.

I've been sitting with this idea for a while โ€” that cinema wasn't warning us about AI, it was mapping it. Chapter by chapter, decade by decade.

New post on the blog explores exactly that.

๐ŸŽจ ๐Ÿค ๐Ÿ’ป Forcing UX design into a fast-paced development sprint is a recipe for disaster. Either design becomes basic ex*****on with zero research, or engineers sit idle waiting for wireframes.

So, how do cross-functional Agile teams actually solve this?

This article explores "Dual-Track Agile" running parallel but synced Design and Delivery tracks so your team can validate the riskiest decisions before code ever gets written.

Beyond design, it looks at the actual responsibilities across Scrum, Kanban, and XP, and why true agility requires changing the organisation to suit the working model (not vice versa).

๐Ÿš€ Ever watch a beautifully planned product roadmap go completely up in flames? ๐Ÿ“‰

Itโ€™s the ultimate tech trap: A feature gets the go-ahead, engineering is ready, and a timeline is locked in. Then, somewhere mid-sprint, design becomes the bottleneck. Requirements shift, decisions get rushed, and UX gets bolted on at the last second.

The result? Teams routinely waste 30โ€“50% of their time fixing defects and redoing work that should have been caught weeks earlier.

But hereโ€™s the secret: This isnโ€™t a design problem. Itโ€™s a planning problem. ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ

In our latest deep dive, we break down how a lightweight Design Phase Delivery Framework uses T-shirt sizing and clear RACI alignment to treat design like the scoped, resource-backed phase it needs to be. Stop playing catch-up and start protecting your dev cycles.

Most well-known design systems focus on making everything look identical across desktop and mobile. But in heavy industry, the stakes are much higher.

Iโ€™ve written a new blog post about my experience building a design system for the mining industry, focusing on how we adapted traditional UI conventions to meet rigorous compliance and safety standards.

The Katdesign Studio site has a new look โ€” and a blog section thatโ€™s now live.
Itโ€™s a space where I write about the messy, specific, unsexy parts of UX that donโ€™t make it into case studies. Things like why consistency across devices is the wrong goal in industrial software. Why the UX profession is hollowing out โ€” and what that actually means for the people still doing the hard work.
If you design complex systems, work in regulated industries, or just want a perspective that isnโ€™t another article about Figma shortcuts, come take a look.
