HOW TO BECOME AN AI DESIGNER

Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

A product designer shares how AI transformed their workflow from creating designs in Figma to building interactive prototypes, shipping frontend code, and treating the product itself as the design source of truth. By using AI tools to prototype, iterate, and implement designs directly, they gained greater influence over product development and UI quality. While this approach significantly increases speed and output, they argue that AI cannot accelerate creativity, taste, or design thinking, and that the gains in efficiency come with a growing sense of distance from the craft of design.
