A Head of Product explained why he's hiring a Design Engineer instead of a UX/UI Designer.
His team went from three designers to just one person handling UX, user research, UI, and development.

They even canceled their Figma subscription. Everything now happens in code.
I'm seeing this shift more and more: toward Design Engineering and Design Governance, whereas not long ago, the work was mostly about producing designs.

As he points out in his article, when design tokens and the design system are properly defined, AI can generate consistent interfaces, leaving the designer to validate the results.
The real value is shifting upstream, into what we define before generation.
4/4
We need people who can define design rules and ensure they're correctly implemented and understood by AI agents.
That's exactly why I'm building https://t.co/ar6HDGSQ6l
Article in the first reply.
Every Axolo project comes with a team of AI agents, right in the chat.
Just write: the Guide answers and calls in the right specialist. Or type “/” to pick one: Axolo UI looks after the visuals, Axolo UX the journeys, Axolo Product the words and the rules, Axolo Builder the design system, Axolo Créa the illustrations and animations.
Each one knows your foundations.
No more AI that forgets your rules.
In Axolo, a design rule is written once in your foundations: a title, the rule, the why, examples to follow and to avoid.
The Axolo checks your screens, fixes the ones that break it, and applies it to everything it generates next.
Your design system lives in your code. Axolo reads it straight from GitHub: components, tokens, themes.
Round a button, change the primary color, publish. Your screens follow, and the same version goes to your developers.
One design system. One source of truth.
Bon les gars, y’en a marre des apps qui puent l’IA

The moment a prototype loses the most value is when it reaches the developer.
It arrives as a link, a screenshot or a mockup. The dev rebuilds it by hand, component by component, and some of the decisions get lost along the way.
In Axolo Design, you prototype directly in the canvas with your team’s own design system. You launch the preview, navigate through the flow, and validate.
One click on “Share code” and the screen comes out as React. The imports point to the team’s design system library (Screen, StatusBadge, StatTile, Button), with the props that already exist in the codebase.
The dev copies, pastes, and starts from exactly what the PO or designer approved. One source of truth, your design system, from prototype to delivery. No intermediate screen left to translate.
Beta starts early November, pre-registration: https://t.co/ar6HDGSQ6l
On a video call and sharing your screen ? Blur what you don't want to share. Draw a zone over it, the call sees a blur. ScreenBlur: free, open source, macOS.
