How a Chief Design Officer (yours truly) uses AI to design like an IC. This demo is for any designers that haven't yet embraced AI in their workflow. I’m one of two designers working on this plugin. I manage an organization of about 40 designers of various flavors, but I still keep myself in the trenches whenever possible. Lynt is one of these efforts. The examples I share are intentionally very simple to demonstrate how any designer at any level can leverage artificial intelligence to amplify and accelerate their human intelligence. AI is revolutionizing how we work as designers, yet I think of it more like a renaissance; a return to designing in consideration of the medium in which our designs are rendered, much like we did years ago when I first started. Arbitrarily, something like 80% of what we do as designers (in the act of designing) is exploration and iteration. For the past decade or more so much of that has happened in Figma and previously Sketch. These are great tools. But as a result of designing exclusively in a static environment, many have lost the ability to connect ideation with execution. Handholding your work from start to finish eventually gave way to handing off your work, and we never looked back. Artificial intelligence flips all of this on its head, positioning you (the designer) to be the one who first turns your design into code, iterate and iterate again, and experience using your work as users will, literally from day one of your design process. All the while freeing our engineering colleagues to focus on the work that only they can do, while designing alongside them.
