Who is Designing AI Workplaces?

If you care about how work connects to people, culture, performance—and where AI fits in—this one’s for you. If you enjoy this, please share this with others who are passionate about workplace design.

Jeremy traces his roots from the Seattle Design Nerds and the city’s Design Festival to leading global workplace strategy for top tech companies. We dig into AI-driven team rooms, immersive storytelling in space, low-tech counter-movements, and how to balance tech, culture, and wellbeing without losing the human experience.

1. From maker culture to workplace: Public, hands-on design experiments (Seattle Design Nerds/Festival) sharpened Jeremy’s focus on user experience and immersion in office design.

2. AI reshapes planning: For AI teams, the sea of desks gives way to small 4–6 person prompt rooms feeding into larger critique rooms for rapid iteration.

3. Senior talent matters more: As AI handles production, experienced curators (senior engineers/designers) guide prompts, evaluate outputs, and set direction.

4. Human first, then tech: Great offices start with culture and purpose alignment; technology should be invisible, seamless support—not the driver.

5. The low-tech counterwave: Expect tech-free zones and more authentic materials/craft alongside advanced sensing, automation, and mixed reality.

6. Wellbeing gets smarter: Adaptive environments (lighting, air, nudges) personalize comfort and health—while protecting time for real, in-person connection.
