Our first AI in Design 2026 case study is live, featuring @sierraplatform! Sierra’s design team is only handful of people (though growing quickly) supporting an engineering org of 100+! They’ve had to be extremely thoughtful about how they work with an eng org of that size... At first with AI, it was easy to fix every design nit themselves. Now they focus on creating the systems and components for the whole org while having a clear POV on where to sweat the details by hand (e.g. spending two hours getting a 16-pixel icon right... watch to see why) “If we can touch production code and the systems more easily with stuff like Claude or Cursor, what is a designer’s role in trying to empower at scale? Instead of doing one little pixel at a time, we should build the infrastructure that engineers use to create new features.” We talked to @wwayneee and @nickhiotis about: - The advantages of a small design team - Compressing "cook, prototype, be wrong, go back" cycle into a few hours - The "51st engineer" trap: why fixing every design nit yourself doesn't scale - Bringing back the joy of designing by doing some things by hand
