Design systems have always been built around one relationship: designer hands component to developer.
That's shifting. AI coding assistants are now reading Figma files and shipping UI directly — often without a human reviewing every screen.
That's made me rethink what a design system actually needs to do — not just guide people, but be legible to machines too. A lot of the tribal knowledge and implicit rules that live in someone's head just don't translate.
I've been working on a mobile design system for Figma — built on iOS Human Interface Guidelines and Material 3 — trying to make it something designers, developers, and AI tools can all work from consistently.
More on this soon.

LUMO — AI Career Coach & Learning App 🤖✨
LUMO is an AI-powered career development app concept designed to make professional growth feel more personal, structured, and motivating.
The idea was to move away from the typical “serious career platform” look and create an experience that feels more like a supportive companion — with a friendly AI character guiding users through their next steps.
The product brings career planning and learning into one connected experience:
• personalized career recommendations based on the user’s profile;
• profile strength and progress tracking;
• curated courses and bite-sized lessons;
• personalized career roadmaps with clear milestones;
• skill building and opportunity discovery;
• a friendly AI coach that makes the experience feel more human.
Visually, we balanced a clean product interface with soft gradients, warm pink accents, and a playful 3D AI character to give LUMO its own personality without distracting from the product itself.
The result is a career platform that turns a complex question — “What should I do next?” — into a clear and approachable journey. 🚀
Would you trust an AI coach to help plan your next career move? 👀
The idea of making a career app feel more like a companion than a platform is pretty smart. The 3D character fits that direction really well too.
Just had this video pop up in my feed (no pun intended) i’m truly interested in seeing what’s about to unfold and happen and near future with the AI industry and whether it’s gonna affect the design industry and any sort of way.
Same here, I’m really curious to see where AI takes the design industry. Feels like things are about to change a lot.
AURA is a promotional landing page designed for a next-generation AI-powered mobile app. The goal of the project is to build an immersive digital experience through a sleek interface, clear visual hierarchy, and precise narrative flow that guides users toward downloading the app.
Good work👏🔥🔥
