Maris J. Ensing, Founder and Chief Architect, Mad Systems

We design places for people. But people change, technology changes, language changes, knowledge changes, and environments change. The experiences we install often don’t.

Maris J. Ensing, Founder and Chief Architect of Mad Systems, explores a shift from designing fixed outputs toward designing intent and outcomes. From multilingual and accessible information to responsive environments and evolving technology, he’ll consider how experiences can adapt over time without losing their original purpose, and how tools including AI can support that evolution while preserving authorship, privacy, and human-centered design.
