Designing schools in the age of AI requires more than tools.
AI is forcing decisions about learning, integrity, equity, and leadership—often before systems are ready. Designing Schools works with education leaders to slow the moment down just enough to design it well. Using design thinking, we help align vision, culture, and practice before policies, platforms, or pressure take over.

welcome!
I’m Sabba.
Design thinking is your human advantage in an AI-driven world.
Artificial intelligence is forcing schools to make decisions they were never designed to make quickly.
I’ve spent the past decade studying what happens when systems are asked to change faster than the people inside them can keep up.
As a former educator and futurist, my work sits at the intersection of design thinking, leadership, and emerging technology—helping schools move forward with clarity when there are no easy answers.
Having worked across K–12, higher education, and industry, including institutions like USC and companies such as Apple and Wix, I’ve seen how learning and work are increasingly connected, and how easily people get left behind when change is driven by technology alone.
A culture of innovation begins with a culture of empathy.

AI may feel new, but the questions it raises are not.
I’ve been studying how technology reshapes learning, work, and leadership since 2014, using design thinking to examine what happens when systems evolve faster than people are prepared for.
What I found is this: the skills that matter most are timeless.
The ability to inspire and lead others through uncertainty.
This book explores why those human skills endure, even as tools change and why design thinking remains our advantage through every technological shift.
The future isn’t guessed.
It’s designed.
Creativity. Judgment. Integrity. Collaboration.
