  • Human-centered AI: Ovetta Sampson on design risks and rewards
    2025/05/05

    This episode of AI Product Builders is a must-listen. I’m joined by Ovetta Sampson, founder of Right AI and one of the sharpest minds in the AI and design space. With a career that spans leadership roles at Google, Capital One, and IDEO, Ovetta brings a powerful, context-driven lens to the hype around generative AI.

    We get into:

    * Why she left Google to build Right AI

    * The risks no one’s talking about in AI product development

    * What MoviePass, the Black Death, and Silicon Valley have in common

    * The real environmental and economic costs of running LLMs

    * What design leaders need to unlearn now

    * Her “Mindful AI” framework for building responsible, people-first experiences

    * Why systems thinking beats wireframes, and what it really takes to design for the future

    Ovetta breaks it all the way down, history, economics, tech, and the human cost of innovation. This one’s part philosophy lesson, part design critique, part wake-up call.

  • Inside the creative process: Jay Demetillo leads Canva’s bold leap beyond traditional spreadsheets
    2025/05/05

    In this episode of AI Product Builders, I sit down with Jay Demetillo, design lead at Canva, to talk about what it means to design spreadsheet experiences for the future. Jay has worked all over the world—from Grab in Southeast Asia to leading the design of AI features inside Canva Sheets. Now based in Australia, he shares what it took to reimagine a legacy product, modernize complex workflows, and bring AI in as a meaningful co-pilot, not just a gimmick.

    We get into:

    * The drag-and-drop design challenge no existing tool could solve and how he had to rely on his ingenuity

    * Prototyping high-fidelity interactions with ProtoPie to shape engineering scoping

    * Why working across time zones requires clarity, collaboration, and great prototypes

    * How Canva Sheets makes data visualization, formulas, and mobile editing easier for everyday users

    * The principles behind Canva’s “magic” AI features like Magic Insights and Magic Formulas

    * Jay’s own side project: an article tracker app built with AI

    * What working with AI taught him about the limits of solo building

    This episode isn’t about slapping AI on a product. It’s about thoughtful design, real teamwork, and pushing past the hype to deliver something users actually need.
