product designer and founder sf based, sicily rooted.

[Alessia @Lexiee442]

a company with way more resources than me shipped basically my product, so i stopped building mine. probably too soon.

in march i built a thing for designers and small agencies. you point it at your brand guidelines and it turns them into a live site you can actually edit. just me, two months.

then claude design dropped, so i tried it. they cracked a few problems i was still stuck on. that stung.

but i was also kind of proud. two months, one person, and i'd made something living in the same world as that.

i only really tested the part that overlaps with mine, the design system side. and claude design does so much, all at once, that i couldn't quite tell what it was all for. maybe that's a me thing. but i kept thinking, what am i actually supposed to do with all this?

which is the exact thing i'm good at. ux. making something simple enough that you never have to wonder what you're meant to do with it.

and the one real advantage i have is i'm not a company, i don't have any blockers. i can just move.

that was a couple months ago. it's may now and i still can't shake it. thinking about picking it back up. talk me out of it.
