Vision on future
Mobility and transportation
At this point, the future without mobility seems unimaginable. We use different modes of transportation because they save us time and effort when getting from one place to another. I look at future mobility as a tool to help us make transportation even more comfortable and efficient than it is today. On top of that, future mobility should not only provide us with travelling from point A to point B, but to some extent also bring aesthetic pleasure.
Not only does my vision include comfortable and efficient mobility of the future, which is already expected from the industry, but it also includes a sensory and material quality of this experience, which would provide not only convenience and practical value of transportation but also pleasure and comfort of interacting with this object. My vision focuses on this issue: the quality of the moment between receiving some information and performing actions based on it, depending on the sensory and physical environment of the vehicle.

Craftsmanship in the era of AI
On the other hand, I believe the upcoming trends with the development of AI tools will shift towards craftsmanship. AI tools are becoming better by the day, sometimes making it nearly impossible to distinguish human work from that of the machine. I believe this will make craftsmanship more valuable, as STEM fields are becoming a popular choice.
On the other hand, this technology now allows non-experts to create better visuals or generate pieces of code without any experience. This could provide more opportunities for designers to outperform experts, as a multidimensional background can help find better solutions because they have a greater understanding of how to include users and clients in the process; they can better communicate their ideas and development to a variety of stakeholders.
I realize that when I say "AI will make craftsmanship more valuable," that is a somewhat optimistic thing to say. Conversely, it might be said that AI diminishes the bar for quality of image and substance to the point that craftsmanship is no longer visible – that it becomes indistinguishable from something that has been generated. Even if the value of craftsmanship may become harder to recognize, the discipline of doing it well is where I could position myself and stand out.
