Design Process
in the age of AI
AI-powered tools and MCP are transforming the design process from a linear relay race into a collaborative sprint. Designers are no longer just the idea generators — armed with AI copilots, we're increasingly becoming builders too.
This is where it all begins. You build a knowledge repository — a content dump that trains your LLM to deeply understand your product, users, and processes. Human-centered skills are crucial here: identifying personas, mapping journeys, and forming a clear product vision.
Great design starts with empathy, not execution.
From designer to builder
With AI, you're not being replaced — you're being amplified. Less handoff drama, more actual product-building. Less grunt work, more creativity.
