076: Ship it: The state of AI in Design for 2026 w/ Matthew Speakman

Join Ephie Risho, Jason Moore, along with special guest Matthew Speakman as they crack open the AI in Design Report 2026 — the second annual study from Designer Fund and Foundation Capital on how design teams are actually adapting to AI. Not the hype. Not the LinkedIn posts. The data. Here's what caught our attention: less than a year ago, 54% of designers were using AI weekly. Today it’s 91%. The average designer's toolstack went from 3 tools to 7. And half of all respondents — not just design engineers, all designers — have shipped AI-generated code to production.
The job is changing faster than the job description.
So across three chapters — Tools, Craft, and Teams — they dig into what's actually shifting, what's still broken, and what it means for anyone leading design right now.
Some of it will validate what you're already feeling. Some of it will challenge you. And there are a couple of hot takes at the end that not everyone agreed on.
If you’re interested in keeping up with AI in UX design, this episode is for you.
