AI is rapidly advancing in UI design—and soon, it may take over much of UX design as well. But there are still key areas where human designers have the edge.
In this webinar, Jacob Nelson will introduce four UI design skills that AI will take years to master. These are the skills that will keep your work relevant, valuable, and irreplaceable.
🔹Information Priority & Component Design
Learn how to structure interfaces based on what matters most to users.
🔹Implementing the Best Decisions, Not All Options
Discover how to guide users with clarity and purpose—not overwhelm them with choices.
🔹Match Between System and the Real World
Design interfaces that align with users’ real-world expectations and mental models.
🔹UI Laws: Serial Position Effect, Law of Proximity, Cognitive Load
Understand and apply psychological principles that shape user behavior and perception.
These skills are not just design techniques—they’re strategic thinking tools that AI still struggles to replicate. Join us and future-proof your design career.
