It's tedious, time-consuming, and arguably not the most creative use of my or my team's time. But it's necessary - as is adapting, translating, and rationalizing that work for localization, legibility, and accessibility once the designs are published.

Though still a relatively new sidekick, AI and machine learning advances tied to UI/UX design are already exhibiting a number of tangible benefits. Here are just a few:
