AI didn’t replace my design process. It changed how fast I could execute it.

AI didn’t replace my design process. It changed how fast I could execute it.

I’ve been experimenting with AI tools in my UI/UX workflow, and one thing has become clear:

AI is great at generating ideas.

But knowing what to build, what to remove, and why a user should care is still the designer’s job.

My workflow has started looking something like:

PRD → User flows → Wireframes → AI-assisted exploration → UI design → Prototype → Testing

The biggest win isn’t “AI designed this for me.”

It’s moving from an idea to something tangible much faster.

The tools are getting better every month.

The interesting part is figuring out how designers can actually use them without losing the thinking behind the work.

I’m still experimenting.

What’s your experience been like using AI in your design or development workflow?
