Design That Uplifts

As AI learns decades of UX best practices, usability and conversion are becoming a commodity. This talk argues that the real competitive edge is "soulful design" that creates meaning, identity and emotional connection, not just efficient flows. Using real world analogies and product examples, Josh shows how teams can reconnect with the human problems behind the backlog.
