Projects that used to take us 3 months now take less than 3 weeks. Here’s exactly how we’re using Claude in the design process:
✅ Research: competitors, common user pains, real needs
✅ Define the gaps in the market
✅ Propose the first cut of the design
✅ Build the entire design system in Figma
✅ Document that system and turn it into a book every department can actually read
✅ Design interfaces from that system, tied back to the research
✅ Run a loop to validate the layout
✅ Take the Figma designs and build the store in Shopify
✅ Connect to Clarity and pull the real issues users hit, straight from the session records (still validating)
All of it can be automated, with validation at every step.
But I believe that 80% is just burning without your 20%.
1️⃣ Clear planning before anything starts
2️⃣ Feeding the AI the right data
3️⃣ Validating what comes back
Without those three, you’re not moving fast. You’re just producing faster

Amazing work
Good morning creatives,
I’m currently taking on 5 new projects for August:
3 Landing Pages ($1,200 each)
2 Full Websites ($1,800 each)
I specialize in partnering with SaaS & AI brands needing end-to-end design, quick turnarounds, or long-term growth collaboration.
Additionally, I’m open to collaborating with fellow designers and creative agencies who need a reliable partner to help execute or build out client projects.
What you get working with me:
48-hour progress updates
Research-backed copy & messaging
Conversion-focused, high-trust design
DM me directly or book a quick 15-minute sync: https://calendly.com/book-a-15mins-call/theframerdude
The offer is clear: focused delivery for SaaS and AI teams with room for longer-term collaboration. Clear scope and pricing make it much easier for founders to decide when they are moving quickly.
I wanted my next framer template's portfolio showcase to have a standout interaction, not another flat slider.
That idea is now the hero: a carousel where every image bends on a cylinder as it moves. Perspective, velocity skew, a touch of chromatic distortion on the edges.
It's raw WebGL with the cylinder math written from scratch, no libraries. I didn't write any of it. I described the motion to Framer's agent, one prompt with my art direction, and it built the code component, wired it into the canvas, and exposed the motion as sliders: tilt, curve, skew strength, distortion, chroma, parallax.
My part was tuning those sliders until the motion felt right for the template, which took longer than the build itself.
The gap between an effect I can imagine and a component I can ship used to be "someday". Now it's an afternoon.
What's an effect you've wanted on your site but never built?
looks amazing!
