AI in Design

I use AI to explore, build, and learn. It's an extension of my thinking that accelerates conceptual work, moving from theory to reality without sacrificing quality.

Exploring Ideas

When I'm faced with a sticky problem, I use Figma Make to eliminate the blank canvas.

It allows me to rapidly generate ideas before committing to a single design approach.

It's not about accepting AI's output, but using volume to find design signal.

Building Real Products

My AI practice goes beyond theory & design.

I've built a few applications with working backend functions & data on Lovable.

These projects taught me how data models shape the user experience & to sequence development steps to build efficiently as the app scales.

Extending my Thinking

While I've used multiple AI tools, my primary strategic go-to tool is Claude (I love Opus's extended thinking capabilities).

The tool is my thinking partner available at any hour who can challenge my assumptions & co-create artifacts.

As a value focused investor, I created an artifact to understand the future of financial markets while leveraging live data.
