AI Practices
How I collaborate with AI as my design partner.
Over time, I’ve made AI part of my everyday design process. It doesn’t give me extra hours in the day, but it helps me use them more wisely pushing creativity further, simplifying complex information, and making ideas feel real and tangible.
Focus Areas
AI in three parts of my design process.
AI Practices
Using AI for Insights
Tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity have become part of my daily workflow. Sure, they’re helpful for simple things like drafting and editing, but the real value shows up when I need to make sense of complex information, identify themes in feedback, or quickly shape a starting point.
I use them in different ways depending on the project or outcome I’m after. And because AI is always evolving, I treat it as a skill I’m still developing. It’s not about pressing a button it’s about asking the right questions, applying judgment, and guiding the output with intent.
ChatGPT
Turn technical documents into design briefs.
Project manager and technical engineering documents often arrive in a state that’s either too technical or too ambiguous to work from. I used to spend a lot of time reworking them, reformatting, rewriting, and trying to clarify what actually needed to be designed. I started using ChatGPT to help rephrase and restructure these documents into something more closely resembling a design brief. While it still requires judgment and editing, it saves time and helps me reach a clearer, more usable starting point.
ChatGPT
Notebook LM
Making sense of feedback and doing competitive analysis.
I often deal with raw feedback like interview transcripts, comments, or reviews on sites. Tools like ChatGPT and Claude make this a lot easier to handle. I paste big chunks of text into ChatGPT to find patterns, pull useful quotes, and turn everything into a format I can actually work with. Claude helps by creating “artifacts” that keep things organized and easy to go back to.
For accuracy, I lean on Notebook LM. It cuts down on mistakes and shows the source of each point, which is especially helpful when I’m looking at competitor research or sharing findings with others. Using these tools together helps me turn messy feedback into insights I can trust and use.
Notebook LM
Turn information into something you can listen to and learn from
Notebook LM has become one of my go-to tools when I’m working with dense or complex material, like research transcripts or batches of competitor data. It helps me spot patterns, surface insights, and make the content more approachable. What I like most is that it’s more reliable than tools like ChatGPT for this kind of work, it cites the source of each point and keeps the information accurate, which is important when I need to trust the details.
One feature I use often is the “Audio Overview,” which turns the material into a two-person, podcast-style conversation. It’s a great way to absorb information passively, and I can even ask questions during playback to get real-time answers. Notebook also offers other formats like study guides, briefing notes, and timelines, which give me flexible ways to structure or share information depending on the project.
ChatGPT
Simple design feedback
Getting feedback as a designer isn’t always easy. Without regular critique sessions or teammates available, it can feel like you’re working in a bubble. I use ChatGPT to help bridge that gap, especially on technical projects where I want to stress-test my ideas or check for things I might have missed.
I don’t rely on it for everything, and I don’t expect it to replace feedback from another designer, but it often catches things I wouldn’t have noticed. It’s been especially useful for flagging accessibility issues or asking questions about clarity and flow. It’s not a substitute for human feedback, but it works as a solid first pass.
AI Practices
Using AI for Visuals
I started creating visuals (images and videos) with many AI tools, but I often relied on Adobe Firefly, Midjourney, Freepik AI, and Recraft AI to boost my productivity. As my curiosity grew, I started watching the free AI course “AI Creativity with Photoshop” by @Khalid Maani on YouTube and explored several other Generative AI courses there as well.
Since then, I’ve been exploring casually and following other creators, constantly amazed by what’s possible and what people are making with these tools. Along the way, I realized how much I didn’t know—understanding art history, different genres, and referencing specific artists can dramatically improve the results. Watching great creators at work showed me how often they draw from established styles and artists to guide their prompts.
While I haven’t applied AI-generated visuals heavily in my product design yet, I’ve used them extensively for creating almost all of the images in @prspctv’s social media reels.
AI Practices
Using AI for Prototype
I’ve been using AI tools like Figma Make, Lovable, Vercel, Relume and Claude to prototype and build working designs. Now, whenever I receive a design brief or solution, I start imagining the product and provide a simple prompt to one of these tools. Within five minutes, I get my first design draft. The gap between concept, design, and execution feels smaller than ever.
I’ve also relied on Framer to bring ideas to life, turning quick drafts into interactive experiences.These AI tools are game changers especially because, as most designers know, the more tangible an idea is, the greater its impact can be. For me, this is just another step toward making ideas real, faster.
