I use AI every day. Not as a shortcut, but as a way to think faster, explore wider, and spend more time on the decisions that actually matter.
Design has always been about problem solving. AI doesn't change that. What it changes is how quickly I can get to the interesting part. Instead of spending hours on first drafts, research summaries, or visual exploration, I use AI to generate a starting point, then shape it with the experience and judgment that only comes from doing this for over a decade.
My AI Approach
Claude is the backbone of my AI stack, but not for what most people use it for. I almost never ask it to design interfaces or generate prototypes because there are better tools for that. I use Claudie to brainstorm, summarise, problem solve, design critiques. and make decisions. It's a second brain I rely on when it would be faster or smarter at certain tasks during the design process.
I use Google AI Studio to turn static designs into working prototypes. I provide screenshots and context about how the UI should behave, and it generates something clickable. It's been more reliable for me than v0, Bolt, or Lovable. A working prototype answers questions static frames can't: does this flow work end to end? Are there too many steps? Does this interaction feel right?
Figma Make lets me generate interactive applications from a text prompt without leaving Figma, and I can import my own design system so the output matches my components.
My stack is always changing as new tools are released.
AI makes good designers faster. It doesn't make fast designers good. The craft, the taste, the ability to know which direction to push, that still comes from the person. AI just gives me more runway to do what I do best.
I'm not interested in the debate about whether AI will replace designers. I'm interested in what happens when a designer who knows what they're doing has access to tools this powerful. That's where I want to be.
