Start here
Begin with the opening email chapters. They establish the shift, the new design process, and why a real side project is the fastest way to learn.
The Design Harness / Agentic Design Ops
Reliable AI workflows for designers
The Design Harness helps designers turn product context, design standards, and repeatable review loops into reliable AI workflows.
A public field guide built from real product work, with Planark as the proof environment.
01 What This Is
A newsletter with a working system behind it.
The Design Harness follows the real work of building products with AI: what to give an agent, what to review, what to trust, and what to keep for next time.
02
Planark proof
Planark is an iOS app in production with real users, live APIs, real data, and the everyday constraints that make AI design work worth examining. It is where the ideas meet product judgment.
03
What the newsletter teaches
- How to give AI the right product context
- How to turn design standards into working constraints
- How to orchestrate research, prototyping, critique, and QA
- How to validate outputs and save what you learn
04
The future downloadable Harness
The newsletter is the public learning layer. Over time, the lessons become a practical kit of context files, skills, review loops, templates, and handoff artifacts that designers can adapt to their own work.
