Most designers think AI replaces the creative process. I think it replaces the boring parts.
Here's my 3-step workflow on every project:
01 — I brief Claude before I open Figma. User problem, architecture, key flows. 20 min of strategy instead of 2 hours of guessing.
02 — I use Figma Make to generate a first draft from a prompt. Then I refine it as a designer — not someone starting from a blank canvas.
03 — I hand off with Claude Code. Auto-generated specs and component docs. The dev gets everything without a single extra meeting.
The result? Faster delivery, sharper decisions, and more time for the work that actually matters — the design thinking.
