The AI Design Field Guide is a curated online publication dedicated to defining and supporting a new breed of creative professional: the “AI Designer.” Recognizing that there is no standard textbook for designing with artificial intelligence, this project serves as a dynamic, living record of insights, techniques, and reflections from industry pioneers. It addresses designers who work as fluently with large language models, prompts, and tool calls as they do with traditional typography and layout.
Created by designers Ryan Mather, Robin Chen, and Federico Villa, the guide features long-form articles from experts at leading companies like Figma, Anthropic, and OpenAI. Topics range from the rise of the “Model Designer” to practical strategies for thinking in mental models and intelligent agents. By engaging with this content, professionals can stay ahead of the curve, learning how to blend aesthetic taste with technical understanding to shape the future of AI-driven user experiences.
