Simon Kim

Staff Product Designer, AI

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.

Simon Kim

Staff Product Designer, AI

Simon Kim is a staff product designer at Loblaw Digital in Toronto, focused on transforming retail operations through the strategic adoption of Gen AI and agentic systems. His superpower is showing people what the future could look like and designing product experiences that make a positive impact on people’s lives. He is driven by the belief that technology is a powerful tool that can change the world for the better.

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.
