Does good design still need human taste?

I was looking back at Anant Radio, a healthcare product we designed for radiologists and their teams.

Light mode for the front desk. Dark mode for the lab. Simple enough for a first time user, but deep enough for complex clinical workflows.

None of those decisions came from making something look polished. They came from understanding the people, context and work behind the screen.

AI can make us faster. But who decides what feels right?

This project is almost two years old. Still feels fresh to me.

Currently building a new identity for an AI + fintech company in Dubai.

Still early, but this is one of the directions we’ve been exploring for the brand.

The idea was to avoid the usual “AI company” visual language and build something that feels more established, precise, and quietly futuristic.

We’ve been playing with geometry, light, and a much more restrained visual system around the mark.

Still developing this one, so I’m curious:

Would you push this direction further, or keep it this restrained?

The real cost of bad UX:

Cluttered layouts, and slow load times quietly push people toward competitors before they even read your value prop. Good design isn't decoration. It's retention.

If you're not sure how your product's UX is performing, that uncertainty is usually the first sign it needs a look.

Good design isn't decoration, it's retention is a line every founder should tape to their monitor. People bounce over clutter and slow loads before they ever reach the value prop, and that lost revenue is invisible so it never gets fixed. Framing UX as retention is exactly right.
