For designers

Design it in Figma.
See it working the same day.

Product managers and clients increasingly expect designers to build what they design. I'm a designer too, and I build working products with AI every day, including this website. I can help you set up the same workflow with your own Figma files and design system, without becoming a developer.

Sound familiar?

Design used to stop at the handover. Now you’re expected to build it too.

  • Your product manager wants a working version, and a Figma click-through doesn’t cut it any more.
  • Your prototypes click through nicely, then fall apart the moment someone tries them with real content.
  • You see other designers shipping working products with AI, and wonder if you’re falling behind.
  • 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 the same day, 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 both ways

    Your frames, components and styles are linked to an AI coding tool such as Claude Code. It builds from your actual design, not a screenshot, and can send changes back into Figma.

  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 Setup, 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

What you get

  • Figma connected to AIYour files, components and styles linked both ways 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.

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.

How long before I’m building on my own?

That’s the aim of the setup. We build your first real project together, side by side, so you leave having shipped something, with a written guide for the next one. For 30 days after that, I’m on hand if you get stuck.

Does this replace our developers?

No. It gets your ideas working fast enough to test them, so developers spend their time on the parts that need an engineer, like security, data and scale. Handover gets easier too, because they start from something working, built on your design system, not a static file.

What’s the design you’d most like to see working?

Tell me about it on a 15-minute call. If AI can get it working, I'll show you how. If it can't, I'll say so.
