For designers

Design it in Figma.
See it working by Friday.

I'm a designer too. I've spent 20 years designing software, and now I build working products with AI, including this website. I can help you set up the same workflow with your own tools and design system, so you can put ideas in front of real people in days, not after a sprint.

Sound familiar?

The design is done. Finding out if it works takes weeks.

  • You hand over a Figma file, then wait a sprint to find out whether the idea actually works.
  • Your prototypes click through nicely, then fall apart the moment someone tries them with real content.
  • Every week a new AI tool promises to design for you, and none of them fit the way you actually work.
  • Clients and managers ask what you're doing with AI, and you don't have a good answer yet.

An example

A client prototype, from Figma frame to a link they can use.

The old way

Specs, handover notes and a two-week wait for a developer before anyone can try it.

The connected way

A working version on a live link within days, built from your own frames and components.

This is the workflow I use for my own work. The timings are illustrative, and your setup starts from the tools you already use.

  1. Your Figma file, connected

    Your frames, components and styles are linked to an AI coding tool such as Claude Code, so it reads your actual design instead of guessing from a screenshot.

  2. Built from your design system

    It turns your frames into working code using your own components, colours and type, not a generic template.

  3. A live link to share

    Every version is published automatically, so clients and users can try it on their own phones.

  4. You stay the designer

    You direct, review and refine. The AI does the typing, and you decide what ships.

What I'd set up for you

A design-to-code setup, built around your own tools.

The setup I'd suggest

Solo Engine, for designers

Figma, an AI coding tool and a way to publish, connected and set up around how you already design.

From £500One-off setup, one-to-one

Talk about a designer setup

Leading a design team or studio? I run the same setup as a hands-on workshop, as a Team Workflow from £1,500.

What you get

  • Figma connected to AIYour files, components and styles linked to an AI coding tool, such as Claude Code with Figma's own connector.
  • A starter built on your design systemYour colours, type and components as working code, ready for every new prototype.
  • Publishing, sortedA live link for every prototype, so clients test the real thing, not a click-through.
  • Your first project, built togetherWe build one of your real ideas side by side, so you leave having shipped it.
  • A guide you keepThe whole workflow written down, so you can repeat it without me.

Questions

What designers ask first.

All questions
Isn't AI coming for designers' jobs?

It's changing what the job is. Designers who can take an idea from a Figma frame to something people can actually use are worth more, not less. This setup keeps you doing the design and hands the typing to the AI.

I don't code. Can I really do this?

Yes. You describe and review, and the AI writes the code. You'll need to get comfortable looking at what it built and asking for changes, and the build session is where that confidence comes from.

Which tools does it use?

Usually Figma, Claude Code or Cursor for building, and Vercel or Netlify for publishing. I'll start from what you already pay for and only suggest something new if it clearly earns its place.

What would you build if you didn’t have to wait for a developer?

Tell me about it on a 30-minute call. If AI can get it working, I'll show you how. If it can't, I'll say so.
