Notes on UI craft, design, methods, and building with AI.
2023 — nowHow I Design with AISpeed of iteration is the single greatest leverage point for design quality. AI tools have made that speed phenomenal — what previously took weeks of Figma screens, stakeholder reviews, and developer handoffs now takes hours from concept to testable prototype.
