Claude has entered the design space.
And honestly, I didn't expect to use it this much for frontend work.
I've started using Claude not just to write code, but to think through the product before I build it.
For example, I'll use it to:
→ Turn a rough idea into a cleaner user flow
→ Explore different UI approaches before touching Figma
→ Review component structure and suggest simpler patterns
→ Generate a first version of a page, then rewrite it myself
→ Find edge cases I might have missed
→ Critique a design instead of simply asking it to make one
The biggest change for me isn't that Claude can write UI faster.
It's that I can explore more ideas before committing to one.
But I still don't blindly ship what it generates.
AI is great at giving me a starting point.
The decisions still need to come from me.
Curious to hear from other developers and designers:
How are you using Claude in your design or development workflow?

Did a motion for the Cockpit concept ⁕ 🔈 ON
Design & Creative Direction: Me
Motion & Sound: Claude Code
Cockpit is an AI agent management platform concept that helps teams:
- Set boundaries
- Monitor activity
- Manage approvals
- Track knowledge sources
- Measure performance and costs
It brings together five key AI UX challenges:
👉 Autonomy
👉 Observability
👉 Human Approvals
👉 Context
👉 Analytics
The idea is simple:
As AI agents become more capable, the experiences we design around them need to make their actions more transparent, predictable, and manageable.
Thanks!
Human approvals is the part most agent UIs skip. Good call making it one of the five challenges.
What if sending money felt a little more like giving a gift?
For Nova, I explored a banking app that brings payments, cards, and a bit of personality together. You can check your balance, browse recent transactions, send or request money, top up, and pay bills.
My favorite part is the digital postcard feature. Before sending a transfer, you can add a little illustrated card—a heart, a birthday greeting, or a playful character. A simple way to make birthday money or a thank-you feel more personal.
I carried that same 3D character into onboarding, pairing it with bold red gradients and large, clear payment details. There’s room for play, while the recipient and amount stay easy to check.
Would you add a postcard to a transfer? I’d love to know what occasion you’d use it for.
Login page idea design
A playful visual concept where the character literally “arms” himself depending on the strength of the password.
As the user creates a stronger password, the character progressively equips himself with more powerful protection and armor. The stronger the password, the better prepared and more protected he becomes.
The idea turns password security into a simple and engaging visual metaphor , instead of showing abstract security levels, the user can immediately see how their password makes the character stronger and safer.
Very cool, Anna!
