AI won’t replace designers.

But it will change how the work gets done.
✅ FOLLOW

Ever opened a design feed and felt like you’re already behind because everyone seems to be “using AI better than you”?

That feeling isn’t random.

A lot of the conversation around AI in design is exaggerated.
Tools are framed as shortcuts.
Context is often missing.

Here’s the reality I’ve experienced so far:

AI isn’t doing the thinking for me.
It’s helping me think clearer and faster in specific moments.

I use it carefully, and only where it makes sense.

Here’s what I actually use AI for 👇

→ Making sense of messy research notes
→ Exploring alternative flows when I’m stuck
→ Improving clarity in UX writing
→ Catching edge cases I might miss early

What I don’t use it for:

🚩 Making final design decisions
🚩 Replacing user research
🚩 Shipping unreviewed outputs
🚩 Designing without context

AI doesn’t understand users.
AI doesn’t own outcomes.
Designers still do.

The designers who stand out won’t be the loudest about AI.
They’ll be the ones who know when to use it, and when not to.

This carousel breaks down how I’m approaching it, practically and responsibly.

How are you thinking about AI in your design process right now?
