About Patrick Morgan
“He sets his mind to unknown arts, and alters nature. ”Ovid, The Metamorphoses
I'm Patrick, a product design leader and the writer behind Unknown Arts.
Each week, I explore the evolving creative process in the age of AI: hard-won lessons from my career, what great creatives can teach us, how technology is reshaping work, and how we can keep creating meaningfully in uncertain times.
Shaped by more than a decade inside the tech industry and a degree in political philosophy, my essays weave together product design, philosophy, psychology, and a healthy dose of pop culture. Technology, especially AI, runs through my writing, but always in service of a bigger question: how we create and how we find meaning in the process.
The name Unknown Arts is inspired by the ancient story of Daedalus, who used his creativity to invent a way out of the labyrinth.
