The future of work is sensemaking

The answer lies not in what AI can produce, but in what humans can decide. The real transformation is not about replacing expertise, but about separating the visible outputs of design and strategy from the judgement that gives those outputs meaning. The part of professional work being automated is not the expertise itself. It is the formatting. The model doesn't replace human judgement; it replicates its surface patterns.

Why Taste Matters More

Taste gives you vision. It's the lens through which you decide what matters, and just as importantly, what doesn't. Without taste, design drifts into decoration or efficiency for efficiency's sake. Devoid of feeling. With taste, you can see a brand clearly before it even exists, and then pull every detail into alignment. Experience, on the other hand, is efficiency. It helps you ship faster, avoid mistakes, and manage the moving parts of projects. That's valuable-but it doesn't set direction.

Taste vs. empathy

Where do we stand now? Emotions run high and some feel strong about the one solution to our current predicament. Designers that are strong visual designers say: taste will save us. It's the last frontier in our fight with AI. With endless options generated by AI, someone will still need to decide which option is best. That would be us, with taste as our unfair advantage.
