Episode Synopsis

How do architects, designers and digital creators all speak the same language of human experience? In this episode I sit down with Nick Cawthon, principal at Gauge.io, to explore the intersection between architecture, user experience design and the evolving relationship between people, process and technology.Nick shares insights from his journey - from hand-drawn drafts to AI-driven design - and reflects on how both architects and virtual creators are redefining creativity in a digital-first world. Together, Nick and I unpack how human centered thinking connects physical space and digital interface, why documenting your process matters more than perfection, and how the next generation of designers can thrive in an era of generative tools.In this episode you will learn:Why architecture and UX share the same DNA of human-centered designHow post-occupancy analysis and UX research both measure and real impactWhat architects can learn from virtual creators about building authentic communitiesHow AI and generative tools are reshaping creativity - and why that's good news for young designersNick and I also reflect on the timeless value of sketching, the art of slowing down in a fast-paced digital culture, and the simple act of staying curious as our professions evolve.#architecture #UXdesign #AIandDesign #Designthinking #HumanCenteredDesign #FutireOf Design #PodcastSubscribe, share and join the conversation: Where do we go from [email protected]
