AI design system that increases efficiency

This meetup is being held under the theme of design systems that increase efficiency.
The most frequently discussed topic at the last Design Compass meetup was 'shortening product development workflows'.

Participants shared examples of how they are actually utilizing AI in their respective organizations and discussed how they are delegating repetitive and complex tasks to AI.

The major cases were as follows.

  • How to effectively convey the design context needed for implementation to AI
  • A workflow that minimizes or completely eliminates friction in the development handoff process
  • How to use an external design system as a reference
  • How to build an internal design system in a form that AI can utilize

What was interesting was that there was not just one correct answer. The tasks acting as the biggest bottlenecks differed from organization to organization, and the ways in which AI was utilized to resolve those bottlenecks also varied.

Furthermore, we didn't stop at just sharing case studies; we also discussed together what we need to focus on to achieve even better results in the future.

These questions were particularly impressive.

  • In an environment where every role is required in the era of agents, what competencies should designers possess?
  • In an era where every member of an organization creates products, how can we maintain a minimum level of quality?
  • What new value can designers create for a company by utilizing AI?

In this meetup, we will share our individual cases and discuss how to design a better design system.

Jongmin Park

A design leader who has achieved results at every stage of a startup from start to finish.
From being the first designer at a startup to directing the design of a team of 200, I've created design impact at every stage. My goal is to help people experience the world through design in a richer and more engaging way, and to create a design language that everyone can understand.

My first startup was co-founding Lineable, an IoT-based startup that uses Bluetooth location technology to prevent lost children. Later, I designed products and brands for Our Table, a service that provides special recipes for special occasions. Later, I joined the travel startup My Real Trip as a product designer and led the design team there. I also served as Head of Design at Healing Paper, which provides services for Gangnam Unnies. I currently run the design media company "Design Compass.".

FAQ

Q. Who is this meetup suitable for?

Suitable for designers, planners, and design leaders who are considering how to apply AI to design work.
Both those who are already actively using AI and those who are just beginning to use it in earnest are welcome to participate. The important thing is not learning the right answers, but being ready to share your own attempts and concerns.

Q. Can I participate even if I am not good at handling AI?

Yes. It is not a position where you must know how to use advanced AI to participate.
However, if you contemplate and attempt to apply AI to your work, you can gain much more.

Q. What will I learn?

This is not a class where you learn how to use a specific tool step-by-step.
Instead, this is an opportunity to gain insights into how AI is being used in actual design work, which tasks it was effective for, where limitations were encountered, and what can be experimented with in the future.

Q. Do I have to share my case?

It is necessary. It is okay if it is not a success story. It is sufficient to say something like, “I tried writing it this way,” “This part didn’t work well,” or “The team is having these concerns.” This meetup is not a place to show off success, but a place to share each other’s attempts.

Q. Do I need to disclose personal work or company business details?

You just need to speak within the scope of what can be disclosed.
There is no need to disclose specific project names, client names, or internal data. It is sufficient to share only the type of work, usage methods, and the structure of the considerations.

Q. Can I participate even if I am not a designer?

You can participate.
However, the central theme of the meetup is design work and the application of AI. It can be helpful for those who collaborate with designers or require design judgment while working in product, brand, content, planning, marketing, or other product-related fields.

Q. What kind of deliverables will I receive?

At the end of the meetup, each person summarizes “what they learned today” and “actions to try next.”.
The goal is not simply to stop at hearing good advice, but to determine small actions that can be immediately tested in my work.

Q. Is there anything I need to prepare?

No special preparations are required. However, experience solving problems using AI is necessary.

Q. Are video recordings or materials provided?

As real-time conversation and sharing of attendees are important aspects of this event, a recording will not be provided.
