When I receive a design brief, I start with pen and paper. ✏️
Sketching helps me organize ideas, map out the flow, and think through the user experience before moving into high-fidelity designs.
Do you usually sketch first, or do you design until it makes sense?

Hi, I’m David Vilca.
I’m exploring a new way to discover resources in Figma Community — one that feels more natural for designers: drawing.
Sketch any screen or wireframe, and AI interprets your layout to return relevant results from Figma Community.
Instead of relying only on keywords, the system analyzes visual patterns — structure, hierarchy, and components — and connects them with related projects. If no strong match is found, it expands the search using curated UI pattern libraries.
The goal: reduce the friction between idea and inspiration.
Try it, sketch something, and help me build a smarter way to discover design :)
This is my project, "Draw your wireframe."

A founder sent me an AI-generated screen and said:
“Can you make this feel like us?”
2 hours later, it wasn’t just cleaner it had identity.
AI can draft layouts.
But brand, clarity, and conversion? That’s intentional design.
If your product feels “almost there,” I help turn it into something users trust and remember.
Let’s build it right. 🚀
Great work man🔥
