👋 Welcome to Design AI Stack
The full-stack playbook for designers using AI to grow, lead, and build.
Over the last 10 months, I’ve been deep in the AI trenches building apps with Cursor, redesigning systems, experimenting with Figma Make, automating workflows, and basically stress-testing every tool that claims to “change design forever.”
Some of it worked.
Some of it broke.
Some of it made me question if I should’ve just opened a salad bar again. 🥲
But through all of it, one thing became very clear:
Designers who learn how to use AI properly will outpace everyone else.
Not because AI replaces design but because it amplifies everything we do:
Better visuals, faster
Cleaner design systems
Smarter prototypes
Automated workflows that unblock teams
And yes… actually building small apps and plugins
This newsletter exists to share all the practical stuff I’ve learned (and continue to learn) while building in real teams, real products, and real environments.
Nothing fluffy.
Nothing theoretical.
Just real workflows, mistakes, tutorials, patterns, and leadership insights from someone who’s building with AI daily.
🔥 What you’ll get here
Short weekly drops on:
AI × design workflows
Design system automation
Cursor + Figma Make breakdowns
Real examples from my day-to-day work
How to lead design in an AI-driven world
Practical tutorials you can apply immediately
Behind-the-scenes lessons from building apps with AI
If it helps you level up, move faster, or look smarter in a meeting it goes here.
🚀 Who this is for
UX/Product designers, Product Managers
Design leaders
Builders
Anyone who feels AI is moving fast and wants to stay ahead
Anyone who wants to design and build
If you’re trying to figure out what the “modern AI designer” looks like… you’re in the right place.
🙌 Thanks for being here
This is just the beginning.
If you enjoy this newsletter, share it with one other designer who’s exploring AI. It helps a lot.
