Creating with AI blows me away every time 🤯
This is my submission for the #configmakeathon
In ~2 days work I built a platform with a database, AI integration, sprite animations, character customization, and more.
This opens so many doors for creators it's insane..
PETWORKING 🐱 - a pixel art gamified networking platform where your cat does the networking for you.
The problem: remote work is lonely. Connecting with people from the industry is cold. There's no organic way to meet people.
The solution: a cat daycare where your cat represents...

My full design cycle for an AI startup 💻✨
One of my recent favorite projects was a full design cycle for Telephone AI —
brand identity, website, industry pages, and the platform itself.
AI integrated into every step of the process.
Case study is still coming 👀
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 —
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 — all the context in one place:
call transcripts, competitor research, personas,
feature priorities for MVP and what-can-wait
↳ Claude Code — structure, interactions,
clickable logic tested before Figma even opens.
Design system with tokens built from the start.
↳ Figma MCP — moved there for customization
and a proper clickable prototype the client can actually walk through
From idea to something real to click —
without weeks of "give us time to think."

Goated!
The hardest part of creative work isn't creating.
It's deciding what to create next.
As creatives, we make hundreds of decisions every day:
• What should I work on next?
• Which idea is worth pursuing?
• Where did I leave off?
• What's the next step?
That mental load adds up.
So for the Config Makeathon, I built Ezzi; an AI-powered creative operating system designed to reduce decision fatigue and help creators spend less time figuring out what to do and more time actually creating.
The feature I'm most excited about is the Memory Engine.
Ezzi remembers context, projects, priorities, and how you work, so you don't have to start from scratch every day.

What AI tools are you using in your design workflow in 2026? 🤖
AI has become a regular part of many designers' workflows.
Today, it's hard to imagine the design process without AI tools — or even a designer who doesn't use them in some way.
I'm curious: what AI tools do you use most often in your work?
Do they help you with research, wireframing, prototyping, content creation, coding, or something else?
I'd love to discover new tools and learn how other designers are using AI to speed up their workflow and improve their process.

Your answer might help not only me but other designers discover something new as well.
