How to Do High-Quality AI-Assisted Design Work
The best AI-assisted design work doesn’t look like it came from AI- because it didn’t. It came from you a person who used AI as a tool, with a purpose.
A Tool, Not a Replacement
AI won’t do your design work for you. That is your value add. Your Figma skills, your aesthetic judgment, your understanding of user psychology — these remain essential. What changes is how quickly you can explore, validate, and communicate your ideas.
Think of AI like a power drill. It doesn’t make you a carpenter, but it helps a carpenter work faster and explore more complex joinery. Your job remains the same: provide strategic thinking, brand understanding, and user empathy that AI can’t replicate.
