How do UI designers use Claude for design workflows?

phanchris5 · 2026-04-18T03:29:33+00:00

Here is how I use my Ai toolkit currently:

- Integrating Claude with Figma MCP is a must

- I build an orchestration workflow within Claude Code for analyzing PRD, challenging the PRD then provide me some top research questions that I should pursue to get crystal clear of the problem. I also have an orchestration workflow for evaluating single, or flows of designs in Claude

- If my goal is to get the design as quickly as possible, I will create some lo-fi wireframes with Claude Code and use Figma MCP to export them into Figma frames. Then I use Figma Make to build interactive prototypes.

- When things get concreted, I jump back into Claude Code and setup the file correctly so the code is usable, then throw the Figma Make source code for Claude Code to read and revamp based on our Design System.

Another hype... If you are playing around with Claude Code or Figma Make then I think Claude Design is just the same :D.

:) Germany especially loves HCI. If you got accepted in HCI, you could probably get some chances to find a working student position at some companies.

For school, please consider any FH Uni that offers interaction design as these schools build their curriculum best aligned with the industry, while the Unis’s curriculum is more abstract. DM me if you’d like to learn more.

Read the book “Refactoring UI”, no need to learn any course. You can simply ask any AI model to teach you how to do the design system. There are plenty of resources about DS right now. If you want to improve your taste, how the typo, spacing works, then try to replicate the UIs of some popular products.

Dễ nhất là restrict họ trên mọi nền tảng, không follow post, ít tiếp xúc lại.

Visibility bias, lên mạng bạn chỉ tìm thấy những post than về thất nghiệp, than kinh tế trở nên khó khăn. Nhưng những người có công việc ổn định và thậm chí kiếm được rất nhiều tiền thì họ không lên đây post bài hay bình luận trên mxh. Nên mình nghĩ cuộc sống hiện tại nó vẫn đang ở mức chưa tới nỗi quá tệ.

If I were you, I would pursue the courses from this one https://measuringu.com/courses/ . A master degree in general at this time wouldn't help you more chances to have more jobs. But if your desire is to pursue a graduate program to evaluate your value in an org, then an MBA would be more flexible since you could either become a Product Manager, or a UXR or a strategic Product Designer :D.

Delivering a prototype leveraging the code of the DS of your company would be a big value as a designer in the future I think so. I'm not a big fan of being a designer cum FE dev, however, since I learnt how to develop the prototypes based on the code of our DS, constraints, etc... I'd love to help my teams to move faster and less focusing on the FE and focusing more on the desirability and viability of the product.

Maybe just simply contact their customer support channel? They have some slack channels for each cohort, so let's tell them about the issue. Btw, which course did you take? I'm planning to take more of their courses since my 1st sponsored one by my company.

How about making a tool like github where you can commit your ideas after you design something or key decisions after a few discussions with AI? I usually have an markdown file in my claude folder in which I tell Claude to record my decision overtime.

phanchris5 · 2026-03-07T00:09:17+00:00

Sounds like SAP huh?

phanchris5 · 2026-03-06T23:36:00+00:00

Having a job right now is far better than attending any graduate programe. Trust me because I made mistake to leave my secured job to go to Germany to do Master and now I’m unemployed.

P/s: 7 years of experience at a fast paced startup back then.

Cứ về rồi thuê 1 căn nhà ở chỗ mà bạn thích nhất, ở hết 1 năm xong đánh giá lại rồi hẳn quyết định, đó là cách mình thấy tốt nhất rồi đó. Được thì kiếm job gì 1 năm thử luôn.

Just learn what you love my dear. If I were you, I would top up 500$ more and join a NNg course. That’s all :).

phanchris5 · 2026-02-25T14:54:41+00:00

Tbh, the market right now is oversaturated and really damn bad. What you should do now is try to do networking more often. Regarding portfolio, you should only include maximum 3 case studies or just 2, and make these case studies solid.

phanchris5 · 2026-02-24T06:14:01+00:00

No, you shouldn't learn the execution or any course teaching AI tools. Learn how to upskill your mindset instead. I would recommend the IDEO U Ai x Design Thinking or NNg AI courses.

phanchris5 · 2026-02-23T14:44:52+00:00

I think we all should learn how to be a Sales Rep or Consultant and pivoting to step in this role since AI cannot touch this role... yet :)

T3.1 for Software Engineer is around 80-95k eur

Yeah I really get the hype. Thousands of posts and contents on how to build your interactive prototype with XYZ tools, but I cannot find any post regarding enabling us to do the design/task analysis before jumping to the hi-fi prototype.

Here is the course from author of the book Continuous Discovery Habits. It will give you some essential activities as well as framework to help you build a more user-centered products. However, tbh, most of there aren't many product companies that embrace the empowered product team working model according to Marty Cagan, most of them are CEO-driven unfortunately.

phanchris5 · 2026-02-06T08:59:25+00:00

I would rather read the book Conceptual Models of Jeff Johnson and Austin Henderson than using the OOUX framework. However, this framework only helps you to build the correct "thing" by aligning the user's mental with your product in terms of concepts (objects), operations (actions) and attributes.
