My full design cycle for an AI startup πŸ’»βœ¨ One of my recent favorite projects was a full design cycle for Telephone AI β€” brand identity, website, industry pages, and the platform itself. AI integrated into every step of the process.
Case study is still coming πŸ‘€
But working on that project reminded me of what I actually love most about early-stage startups: being in on it early.
Researching a new market, figuring out who the real user is, what they need, what they've never had before β€” and laying the right foundation from day one instead of fixing it later.
Best practices from MVP. Not retrofitted after.
Here's what that process looks like for me now:
↳ Claude Projects β€” all the context in one place: call transcripts, competitor research, personas, feature priorities for MVP and what-can-wait
↳ Claude Code β€” structure, interactions, clickable logic tested before Figma even opens. Design system with tokens built from the start.
↳ Figma MCP β€” moved there for customization and a proper clickable prototype the client can actually walk through
From idea to something real to click β€” without weeks of "give us time to think."
