Figma feels less like a static design canvas now and more like a product lab.
The line between exploring, prototyping, and implementing keeps getting thinner.
I’m going to be a bit more active here 👋
Lately I’m deep in AI tools, agents, design workflows and automation.
Mostly trying things, seeing what works, and sharing what I learn.
Went through all episodes of @joindiveclub, pulled out everything about portfolios, hiring, and what makes candidates stand out.
Distilled it into a skill that audits any product design portfolio.
Actually works:

crazy time to be a designer... everything is new again
I've not had this much fun in years, we are all juniors! and yet deep experience (judgement/taste etc) is the superpower when working with AI
execution costs dropping! thinking comes to the fore again. craft as aesthetic execution skills is out! craft as building what's what's right is in!
speed.
is chat UX the end state or are we in a transition?
my dog just vibe coded a weather app

your portfolio is becoming less relevant every day
what matters now:
- can you ship fast with AI?
- do you have taste?
- can you adapt your process as tools change?
your old case studies don't prove that
showed a client my current AI workflow today
also walked them through how I worked two months ago
and was honest that I have no idea what my process will look like two months from now
things are moving fast
Anthropic is building an OS for intellect; OpenAI is building a media company. Coding with Claude is a flow state, but ChatGPT is becoming a recipe blog without an ad blocker. If I have to watch a 15s ad to debug a script, the productivity revolution is dead. One is a tool for builders; the other is a slot machine for consumers.
