Hi Community!
So, I’ve been exploring Figma Make during the initial planning process in designing a website. It feels like a good tool to explore a rough idea in real-time.
I like it - being able to iterate so quickly.
🚀 A tip from me would be to add it to your exploration process - it definitely makes it more fun.
Has anyone else added this to their workflow yet? 🧠
Love how Contra's community is providing tangible insights!
My current AI powered workflow as a designer and non native English speaker:
→ I use ChatGPT’s Memory as my operational brain. I fed it my pricing, deliverables and feedback rounds, so when I draft complex client emails, I’m not starting from zero. I edit everything, ✨always✨.
I’m fluent in English, but it helps me catch small grammar or spelling details for extra credibility.
→ When I find myself spending hours 🫠 searching for the perfect packaging mockup I turn to Adobe Firefly to create them. The Nano Banana integration is honestly amazing.
What’s actually working? AI removes admin noise and speeds up exploration although it’s terrible at taste. Strategy and design are still human work.
Which part of your workflow has AI genuinely improved, and which part would you never hand over?
Very thoughtful workflow approach. Curious — what aspect of your process improved the most after structuring memory this way?
Today, I've been playing with Figma Console MCP in @Figma
Just like the Framer MCP, it's such a great partner to have. I'll be using this a lot as a Design System builder and maintainer.

This is really interesting. Treating your design system as an API and connecting Claude directly to Figma for extraction and debugging sounds like it would save so much time on repetitive work. Going to have to give this a try for my own design system workflow.
