> But with AI, and bringing your exact designs to life with MCP, those questions do come to mind. And once they do, it feels really magical. As a designer, I’m now no longer just designing form elements. I’m considering the tech that goes on in the background, and I’m identifying design opportunities at every point.

Awesome. I’m dating myself here, but I played around with my first Commodore computer in the 80s, [writing code to design](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Fqtz_3fVU4) animations with colored pixels. I loved it. I wasn’t a coder, but it gave me an appreciation of how logic worked with creative expression.

**Do you feel this is an emerging role, or does every designer need to know these skills moving forward?**
