Inspired by a 16th-century artist who imagined a rhinoceros he had never seen, this session explores how designers today translate words into meaning through artificial intelligence. That same ingenuity is alive and well in the ways designers use language to steer artificial intelligence. This session introduces the Prompt-Driven Life Cycle (PDLC), a framework for designers who wish to make prompting an intentional, human-centered design practice. With a mix of stories, examples, and brief hands-on activities, participants will learn how small word choices can produce big changes in AI generations. The session highlights empathy, ethics, and imagination as essential resources in building trust between people and intelligent systems. Attendees will leave with practical techniques for speaking clearly to AI, nurturing creative collaborations, and designing experiences that feel more authentic, meaningful, and emotionally tuned in a world of artificial automaticity.
