In this episode of the Let’s Talk Design Podcast, we sit down with Luke Pierce, founder of Boom Automations and AiAllstars, to explore how businesses can unlock the real return on investment of AI.

Luke’s journey from logistics and supply chain engineering to building two AI-focused companies gives him a unique perspective on where automation truly delivers value — and where most businesses go wrong. Having transformed over 75 teams through intelligent automation, Luke shares practical insights on spotting workflows that can be automated, balancing efficiency with creativity, and separating real AI impact from hype.

We also dive into his work at AiAllstars, where he teaches individuals and teams how to go from idea to a working automation in just seven days. From common AI myths to the future of human work, Luke breaks down what the next era of design, business, and technology will really look like.

This week on Let’s Talk Design I met with Ed Ko. Ed’s career has spanned an interesting balance of Design practice as well as education. He started off his career working for prestigious Sydney consultants such as Vert Design and Alquemy. Then he moved to work as a tutor/lecturer at UNSQ, working under his company name Ed KO Designs.

In the podcast, Ed discusses the trends of nostalgia bringing back lost designs into the modern day. Further, we discuss the value of consumers' emotional connection to our designs. In addition, we mention the move toward organic design where aesthetics imitate the design language of nature.
