When scientists first observed the asteroid 3I/ATLAS, its motion defied prediction. It shifted course without warning, as if driven by invisible forces — gravity fluctuations, solar winds, or collisions with unseen particles. In a way, it behaves like a cosmic black swan: rare, unpredictable, yet profoundly revealing about the fragility of our models.
In the world of digital design, we face similar uncertainty. Every project moves through its own space — full of changes, new technologies, and user behaviors that can suddenly shift direction. Stability alone isn’t enough. What truly matters is antifragility — the ability of a system to grow stronger through disorder and adaptation.
A good designer, like a navigator among asteroids, builds interfaces that don’t break under pressure but evolve through it.
Design should absorb change, not fear it. Each disruption — a new device, a design trend, an unexpected user path — becomes not a threat but a source of refinement.
In this way, we don’t just design for the present.
We design for the unknown.
