WHAT AI EXPOSES ABOUT DESIGN

AI is compressing design workflows and automating execution, shifting the focus away from UI production toward outcomes and faster experimentation. Rather than replacing design, it creates an opportunity to return to its core purpose—helping users achieve goals—by focusing on holistic, cross-system experiences instead of isolated screens. While tools like rapid prototyping and emerging ideas such as “Design Twins” can scale insights, meaningful design still depends on real user understanding and empathy, positioning designers as orchestrators of systems, research, and outcomes rather than just makers.

TESTING FONT SCALING FOR ACCESSIBILITY WITH FIGMA VARIABLES

Figma variables can be used to test font size increases across scales from 100% to 200%, fulfilling WCAG 2.2's mandatory AA criterion that text must be resizable up to 200% without loss of content. The workflow requires structured auto layouts, text styles, and number variables for font-size and line-height — foundations that most teams with a design system already have in place. According to APPT data from February, 26% of mobile users increase their device's default font size, making accessibility testing a non-negotiable part of the design process.

SMALL FIGMA HABITS THAT MAKE BIG UX IMPACTS

Great UX results from small daily design habits rather than just big research projects or major redesigns. Key habits include keeping design iterations rather than deleting them for a visible history and faster branching, organizing Figma files with clear sections and page structure for better team navigation, and using Auto Layout from the start to enable faster iteration and a smoother developer handoff. These workflow decisions dramatically affect how quickly you iterate, how clearly teams collaborate, and how easily developers implement designs.
