How I use AI in my design process (and where I don’t)
Where it helped
Going wide
Fast first drafts of layouts so I could compare directions before committing.
Testing behaviour
Turning static screens into a clickable prototype to feel the flow.
Scaling the boring parts
Repetitive, large-scale work inside Figma, like wiring links and fixing overflowing text.
Where I don’t use it
The research, the persona, the design principles and every final call stay with me. Anything AI produces is a first draft, and it only stays in the product if it passes the same principles as everything else.
AI makes confident mistakes: overflowing text, broken links, uneven spacing. Every screen still needs a human review.
