Day 6–7 | Closing Phase 2 → Entering Phase 3: Design ⚡

Phase 2 was all about ideas and iteration.

Phase 3 begins with turning those ideas into actual screens.

Since I had already built the design system using Figma Design Agent, I started moving into designing the core experience for Access Atlas.

I began by creating the first screen manually and then used Design Agent to generate multiple variations. Instead of picking based on visuals alone, I compared them through usability, readability, and ease of navigation.

One thing I realised during this phase:

Design Agent became part of my workflow, not just a feature.

I used it for almost everything: → Exploring layout variations → Filling placeholders with real imagery → Iterating colors and UI details → Making quick refinements without breaking flow

It ended up handling a huge part of the repetitive work and made the design process significantly faster.

At the same time, I kept experimenting with Figma Weave.

Today I explored using Weave to build the hero banner for the AI section.

The workflow looked something like this:

→ Ran the concept through 3 LLMs simultaneously → Selected the strongest result → Imported into Figma and refined it with Design Agent + Figma AI → Exported into Weave → Combined two images using image inputs to replace the mascot → Ran another pass to match lighting and make the final composition feel natural

What I’m starting to love about Weave is that the workflow becomes reusable.

Instead of repeating tasks, I can build once, iterate endlessly.

Phase 2 officially complete ✅ Phase 3 has begun 🚀
