Tuhin Kumar - From Airbnb to Apple to designing with AI

Tuhin Kumar has designed at some of the most prolific companies in the world (early Facebook, Airbnb and Apple).

But everything’s changing in his new role…

Because now he’s the Head of Design at Luma AI which is one of the companies leading the charge on generative AI.

So this episode goes deep on how the value prop of design is shifting.

Some highlights:

  • The #1 trait of craft-oriented companies
  • Why you can’t think of AI products as just a tool
  • How to invest in the right skills as a designer today
  • What created Tuhin’s career tipping point at Airbnb
  • What Tuhin is pulling from Apple and Airbnb’s culture
  • How working with AI as a material is changing everything
  • The biggest lesson Tuhin learned while writing system prompts
  • a lot more
