Great event on design and engineering at Shopify’s Montreal office 🤩

Key takeaways:
1. “Design engineer” is not a title the Shopify team is currently hiring for. It means the team looks for designers with an engineering mindset and vibecoding skills, and engineers with taste and a strong design point of view.
2. As designers, try not to tie jobs to titles. The old mindset, “I’m a UX designer, not a graphic designer,” no longer works. The lines are blurring.
3. Shopify’s design teams already use Cursor, vibecoding, and prototyping in an internal product playground, and are expected to ship PRs to production.
4. Designers should keep an artistic point of view and lead with taste. Follow our curiosity, and learn new tools.
5. The highest leverage now is to learn from AI, don’t outsource thinking. Go down the rabbit hole of coding, fill our blind spots, and educate ourselves with AI.

Stay curious, master the craft, start shipping small. In the end, “Good tools make a skilled craftsman better. They will not make a poorly skilled craftsman great.”

If we haven't met yet, I'm Tyrice, a Product Designer and Strategist who believes great design should work for everyone, not just some people.

What Drives Me
I'm passionate about creating inclusive digital experiences that users actually love and stick with. My approach eliminates the expensive guesswork that slows down product growth by combining research-driven design with emerging technologies. (Fun fact: I'm a recovering MySpace theme creator who got sneakily taught HTML/CSS through late-night customization sessions — that early passion for problem-solving shaped everything that followed.)

What I Bring
Over the past 4+ years in UX, I've helped scale products from zero to 100 MAU and boosted engagement by 20% for over 2 million users at Ally Bank. My background spans human sciences, fashion, and luxury retail (Chanel and Hermès), where I learned premium brand conversion strategies that I now apply to digital products.

What I'm Building
I'm currently co-founder and Product lead at Knovel Protocol, a Web3 platform transforming the publishing industry. We're empowering writers and readers through a decentralized literary ecosystem where authors can self-publish, connect directly with their audience, and maintain full ownership of their IP through blockchain technology. We're a Socialfi Pitch Dojo Winner (Nov '24), Ex-Ally, and ICC Innovation Award Winner '22.

What I'm Looking For
I'm open to product design and strategy roles where I can make a real impact, as well as brand partnerships and speaking opportunities around inclusive design, Web3, and the future of digital publishing.

Case Study: AI as Creative Collaborator – “The Latent Space”

Artist Alejandro Cartagena and developer Hugues Bruyère created “The Latent Space”—an interactive AI installation that’s redefining what’s possible in digital art.

The Innovation:
An AI model trained on Cartagena’s urban photography generates real-time projections. Viewers manipulate physical objects to transform the images, revealing how AI interprets visual data.

Why It Matters:

- **Artist-led AI**: The technology serves the artist’s vision, not the other way around
- Interactive experience: Creates engagement impossible with traditional media
- Critical exploration: Examines AI bias and representational limitations through art

The most compelling AI work happens when human creativity guides the technology. As AI tools become ubiquitous, success belongs to those who combine technical capability with artistic vision.

*How are you integrating AI into your creative process?*
