Design is not only about solving problems. It is about shaping how people experience the world. Alongside her work at Paloma Design Studio, Maria has spent years exploring AI as a creative tool through her own experiments and research. She has also worked with Studio Tim Fu, a practice exploring the integration of artificial intelligence into architectural design, where she engaged with how generative technologies can expand the way designers develop and explore ideas. Her talk reflects on a central question: how can designers embrace AI while still preserving the human intuition, perception, and sensitivity that shape meaningful spaces?
