Human → Interface → System design is starting to feel like it’s moving into its twilight. We’re shifting toward something closer to Human → Agent → System → Agent → Human, where the system becomes part of an autonomous loop rather than something people interact with directly.

Design has to adapt. Interaction is no longer always visible or immediate. It’s often indirect, asynchronous, and behind the scenes. We’re designing not just interfaces, but how intent moves through systems.

Design still needs to be thoughtful and beautiful for human users. But we also need to consider how products are used by agents, and the opportunities and risks this brings.

It reframes empathy. It’s not just about what users say or do, but what they mean and what agents execute. We need to be mindful of human problems and agent behaviour.

WIP (1/3) I am building a throwing experience for my friend's ceramic studio website. Before getting into Omma, i am playing around with my idea (like a sketch). The challenge I arrived at is figuring out how users can get a tactile sense that they are close to ruining the pot. Perhaps I should use sensory substitution with sound or cues like subtle shaking of the pot. What do you think?

Oh this is awesome! Could this work with hand tracking too?

I studied the world’s best mobile patterns on Mobbin. From health rings to social matching, to build a research-backed moodboard. I was inspired by apps like Greg, Apple Health, Shop and Bumble. I translated these high-end UX behaviors into a cohesive design system that prioritizes clarity and local trust.

Then I jumped with all my ideas into Figma Make. Here it comes Pottr, a fusion between quantified plant health with a social graph. It includes plant care tracking but it doesn't stop there. It’s an ecosystem where you match with neighbors based on shared plants, trade seeds or tools, and request community care when you travel. It’s a premium, hyperlocal take on sustainability with custom branding and a neighborhood "open-world" map.

I just built Flavora as an interactive meal builder where users create dishes in real time. Ingredients update nutrition, difficulty, and structure instantly. It generates a complete recipe with optional detailed steps and timers. 100% Built in Omma. https://omma.build/community/hwwhreoqc5yt
