AI has changed how fast I can move between an idea and something real. It hasn't changed what I'm looking for — the right experience for the right moment.
AI compresses the distance between an idea and something I can look at — not to deliver a finished answer, but to make exploration cheaper. I can try something, see it's not right, discard it, and try again in the time it used to take to build the first version.
Some things don't need AI to start — they need a pen. If a flow has been running around in my head I'll sketch it first, then use Claude to stress-test the thinking or push it somewhere I haven't been.
Claude is where I think — research, assumptions, micro-interactions, flows that need precision. Lovable is where I show — prototypes people can tap through and react to. Figma is where I refine — components, systems, and handoff fidelity a developer can build from.
AI makes it possible to get the prototype much closer to what needs to be built — not as a spec, but as a proof a developer can interact with, question, and push back on before they start.
AI makes iteration cheaper — it doesn't make the judgment of when something is right any easier. When you can produce ten versions quickly, the question isn't "can I make this?" It's "which is actually right, and why?" That still belongs to the designer.
