The 2 Biggest Ways my UI/UX Workflow has Changed

A UI/UX designer shares how their workflow has shifted with AI tools. Instead of starting in Figma from scratch, they now use Claude Code for initial vibe-design prototyping, then use Figma MCP to generate multiple design variations quickly. The designer picks the best option, refines colors and layout manually in Figma, then feeds the result back to Claude Code to implement in live code. The workflow produced a working floating modal panel with filtering and search in minutes, without writing any code directly. The author positions AI as a junior designer that handles iteration while the human designer handles refinement and creative judgment.
