Design Evenings TO:The Evolution of the Designer in an Agentic Era
AI is changing not just what we design, but how we think as designers. Simon shares how working with generative AI and agentic systems in retail is reshaping product craft, decision-making, and the designer’s role in shaping the future.
Drawing from his work transforming retail operations at Loblaw Digital, Simon explores how designers can lead in an AI-first world,prototyping possibilities, influencing strategy, and designing systems that improve people’s lives rather than simply shipping features.

Event Overview
As AI shifts from tool to collaborator, the role of the designer is evolving just as quickly. In this session, Simon Kim explores what it means to think like an agent, moving beyond interfaces to design intelligent systems that adapt and create real-world impact.
01
From Designing Interfaces to Designing Systems
As AI integrates into workflows, invisible behaviours become the new UI. Designing agents means shaping how systems think, adapt, and handle context, memory, and fallbacks to build transparency and trust.
02
Thinking Like an Agent
Context is everything. Simon explores prompt engineering as a design skill, focusing on crafting clear instructions and tone so agents deliver accurate, useful responses.
03
Designing for Real-World Impact
AI adoption is human as well as technical. Learn how designers can drive meaningful outcomes while maintaining trust, and how LLM evaluations help measure app quality in real-world use.
