Designer here. There is a lot of pressure at the startup I work at to use AI for everything so we can 'move faster'. Often working with vague requirements. Given leaderships inexperience building software, having something to look at and point to is helpful for sussing out requirements and edge cases.

Figma is still my preferred canvas. Figjam is still great for rough wireframes, flows, and agreeing on data models with my eng counterparts.

But Claude accelerates the divergent early stage 'exploration' work. Unfortunately we don't take the time to properly validate the concepts with customers. Again in the name of 'moving fast'. They will learn eventually I guess.

I'm getting off-topic. Claude is super helpful. As time passes I'm doing more and more work with it. But sometimes taking my design system and pushing pixels is genuinely faster when there is an obvious solution, opposed to ensuring Claude has all the right context to solve a relatively simple problem.

All depends on what I'm working on really.
