i’ve spent years designing websites with whatever tools were available
now i’m slowly getting used to the fact that i can also make the tool
for this project i wanted to explore more directions for the brand
collecting references or creating each direction from scratch would already become a project of its own
so i built a small generator and started playing with it
each output gives me something to react to
keep this
change that
try one more
and then one combination suddenly feels like a direction worth following
it’s still rough and i keep finding small things to fix
but honestly this is the part i’m enjoying most
doing the design and building the tool that helps me explore different visual languages at the same time
Making the tool instead of just using it is such an underrated superpower for designers. Once you can generate directions to react to, exploration stops feeling precious and starts being fun. This is the good kind of lazy.
Which one better guys????

The Heron chat widget is the product's main touchpoint. It floats over the architect's design software, answers questions about the model, and executes changes once approved.
Designing UI that lives inside another application changes the constraints. It has to hold legibility over dense linework, keep a small footprint, stay clearly branded without competing with the host software, and dismiss cleanly.
The product page demonstrates rather than describes. The widget is shown over a real floor plan, mid-conversation about an HVAC clearance issue, with the affected room highlighted in the drawing behind it. The surrounding layout is kept deliberately quiet so the widget holds the visual weight.
Very professional! 😃
