We are at the forefront of this new design-engineering shift where AI turns ideas into working apps. Tempo is an extremely powerful tool that bridges the gap between design and code, using AI.

Brought on as the founding designer post-YC, I had the opportunity to shape Tempo AI from the ground up, designing a platform where technical and non-technical users could co-create on a single source of truth: the codebase.

Tempo isn’t just a prototyping tool; It uses AI to prompt, design, and deploy production-ready, mobile and web apps in minutes. I helped define that experience through clear UX flows, a powerful yet intuitive design system, and clear visual identity that developers trust.

Currently, I actively use Agent+, Tempo’s AI-powered tool for building with founders. I helped over 4,000 product leaders, designers, and startup teams bring ideas to life. By describing features in plain English, the tool generates real code instantly—and he fine-tunes it visually in real-time. At Tempo, I use Agent+ to collaborate directly with engineers and ship the features that I design, faster than ever.
