Hi, I'm Daniel. I run BrightStudios and design brand identity systems and build the websites to match. The throughline isn't industry It's the moment: companies at fundraise, launch, rebrand, or going upmarket. My work spans across SaaS, consumer, hospitality, education, marketplace, and a few that don't fit a category. Started designing at 18. Top 1% on Contra. Framer Partner, Webflow Partner most importantly a Barca fan. A few names you might recognize: DAZN, Contra, Daydream, Hypernative, Marcura, Averi AI, SupaHumans. I put together a reel of recent work, here it is:

Stunning!

Can Claude Design really replace designers, or does it simply prove why designers are still needed?

I'm building a web-based motion app for designers, and I already have a pretty clear idea of how the interface should work. But building every screen by hand at this stage would be slow and, honestly, unnecessary

Right now, I don't need perfection I need something visible enough to click through, adjust, and build from

And this is where Claude Design is actually useful! Not as a replacement for a designer (because let's be honest, the design itself is not the strongest part), but as a tool for quick UX sketches

I like experimenting with AI tools, and I often give them minimal direction on purpose, just to leave space for them to "think" a little on their own. And very often, that's exactly where these tools show how far they still are from being "designer killers"

At first glance, the interface can look pretty nice But then I enter the prototype with my curiosity, design thinking, and 9 years of experience, and the fairytale gets less magical

"Why did you add this?" "Because there was space"

"What does this button do?" "Nothing, I didn't think that far, sorry"

"What is this section for?" "Analysis of a *completely imaginary area we're not even working with in this product*

And that's the point! Claude Design can create a quick structure, but it doesn't truly understand the product, audience, logic, priorities, or tiny decisions that make an interface actually usable

So for me, it's a great tool for designers who already know what they're doing A fast executor for early UX A way to get a rough version out of your head

But definitely not a replacement for a designer ✦ btw, the video is a small peek into the product and the process behind the animation from my previous post

AI's great for scaffolding and prototyping different looks and layouts quickly, but still definitely needs a human touch. Animation looks great!
