Are you still managing tools… or building systems?
I’ve been consolidating my early-stage process inside @FLORA - exploration, concepting, prompt development, and visual creation all in one place.
Flora isn’t just an image generator - it’s an intelligent, node-based canvas where I can connect AI text generation (via ChatGPT) directly to image and video models inside the same workspace. No jumping between tabs.
What that looks like in practice:
• Explore text, image, and video models in one place
• Connect a text node directly to image/video nodes to generate + iterate instantly
• Refine prompts, edit visuals, swap elements, build scenes layer by layer.
The shift?
Centralizing AI doesn’t just save time - it protects creative momentum.
Check out my Ai workflow below:
This is next-level workflow thinking. Centralizing exploration, prompt iteration, and visual generation in one intelligent canvas isn’t just efficient it preserves creative momentum and lets ideas evolve seamlessly. Love how Flora turns scattered tools into a cohesive system.

How are you actually using AI in your design workflow?
For me, AI sharpens the thinking before it speeds up the making. I use ChatGPT to turn my ultra detailed briefs into compelling brnd stories and identity descriptions. Great storytelling sells and not everyone is a natural copywriter. It replaces hours of copy refinement and elevates the narrative.
For visuals, I use Google Nano Banana Pro for most concepts, Seedream 4.5 for ultra-realistic 4K mockups, and Mystic 2.5 for surreal, illustrative explorations. They don’t replace creativity, they expand it.
Big insight: AI is only as good as your input. The better the prompt, the better the outcome.
How much time do you invest in crafting the perfect prompt?
Using AI to sharpen briefs before touching Figma is such a smart workflow. Probably 20-30 mins on prompts saves hours of revision later.
For this challenge, I created an original AI template in the CapCut AI Template Maker based on my storytelling piece “Feel The Cosmos” — a future where humanity doesn’t colonize worlds, but cares for them.
The concept, visuals, and animation were created with AI — from image generation to animated scenes and sound design. CapCut became the space where I shaped everything into a cohesive story in the multitrack editor.
As a creator, I explore different AI ecosystems to understand each platform’s strengths. CapCut is especially effective for post-production, structure, and scalable template solutions. As its AI evolves, its potential as a generative environment will grow — which makes it exciting to use now.
This project envisions fashion as a technology of memory, where culture becomes the first step in shaping new worlds.
Amazing
How do you explore ideas without fully committing to building them? 👀
I used Figma Make to quickly generate a website layout and then test two different color directions on top of it.
For early exploration, having a solid base to experiment on makes conversations much clearer and helps move decisions forward.
If you’ve been curious about Figma Make, this could be a simple way to bring it into your process. 🙌
Just started my Figma course early this year, and whenever I see exciting projects like this, it just keeps me motivated 🙌.
