AI First

AI in my design practice

I use AI across four stages: understanding the problem, exploring ideas, delivering designs, and evolving the design system. I set the context and review every decision.

01

Understand and organize

Understand the problem before exploring solutions.

AI support
Summarizing meetings, organizing reference material, and drafting questions, requirements, and hypotheses.
My responsibility
Defining the problem, verifying information, and building a deeper understanding with users and stakeholders.

02

Explore and prototype

Make ideas tangible so design decisions can be evaluated.

AI support
Generating UI options, responsive layouts, and prototypes based on the design system.
My responsibility
Guiding exploration and reviewing user flows, hierarchy, and consistency before taking a design further.

03

Review and deliver

Give engineering the detail needed to build the experience.

AI support
Documenting component states, UI copy, user flows, and implementation specifications.
My responsibility
Reviewing the details with engineering and checking that the design meets the project’s needs.

04

Manage and optimize

Build on a consistent foundation of reusable components.

AI support
Building and maintaining the design system, identifying inconsistencies, and suggesting improvements to components.
My responsibility
Creating AI skills and agents to help manage changes and speed up delivery. I review their suggestions and prioritize component reuse.

Capabilities

From product insight to interface design

I bring product thinking, interface design, and engineering collaboration to every stage of the work.

Collaboration and leadership

Stakeholder alignment, scope discussions and guidance for designers on projects involving multiple teams.
