Awesh

I’ve mentored 100+ designers. The ones who grow fastest all have one thing in common. They don’t ask “how do I do this?” They ask “why does this matter to the user?” That single shift changes everything. Follow for more lessons from the mentoring trenches.

@SahilExec Great. I also typically ask these types of questions during interviews. For example, I’ll ask a candidate to design an elevator interface for a 1,500-story building. I ask these questions to understand the candidate's thought process rather than the solution itself.

Interviewer: You need to design a transaction history table for 10 million daily transactions. What factors will you consider?

@SahilExec I am planning to write a detailed article... will do it soon

@awesh That's so true, I've seen designers waste credits on simple tasks, can't wait to learn your framework

Figma AI credits are limited. And most designers usually burn through them in a week. Nobody told them how to use AI tools properly. Here's the framework I use and teach every junior I mentor 🧵

Figma Make credits are teaching us something important. AI isn't unlimited. Your user's patience isn't unlimited. Good design thinking was never unlimited either. The designers who win with AI aren't the ones who prompt the most. They're the ones who think the clearest. One precise prompt. One strong output. One less revision. That's the skill. Build it now.

When the output comes, don't re-prompt immediately. Do this first: Fix small things manually in Figma. Adjust spacing, font, colour by hand. Only re-prompt what genuinely needs AI to rebuild Re-prompting the whole screen for one broken element is the biggest credit waste I see.

श्रीराम जन्मभूमि मंदिर के गर्भगृह में प्रतिष्ठित होने से पूर्व जहां प्रभु श्रीराम का चल विग्रह स्थापित था, आज उस स्थान पर अनुष्ठान पूर्वक एक ज्योति स्वरूप स्थापित किया गया है। वैदिक आचार्यों ने ज्योति स्थापना से पूर्व पूजन तथा अनुष्ठान सम्पन्न कराया। विदित हो कि मन्दिर निर्माण के समय इसी स्थान पर श्रीविग्रह को विराजमान कराया गया था। Before the consecration of Prabhu Shri Ramlalla Sarkar’s Chal-Vigrah in the Garbha Gruha of the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Mandir, the place where the movable vigrah had earlier been placed, has today been ritually marked by installing a sacred jyoti. Vedic scholars conducted the prescribed pujan and rituals prior to the placement of the jyoti. It is noteworthy that during the construction of the mandir, the vigrah had been temporarily enshrined at this very spot.

Jab designer bole user samajh jayega? Usko kehte hain… “Hope-driven design” 😄

The biggest UX problem? Designers designing for themselves.

I wrote my second book because of a conversation that made me uncomfortable. A senior designer told me: "I know UX. I just can't explain it to anyone who doesn't." That's not a communication problem. That's a clarity problem. And I've seen it in every team I've worked in. This book is for designers who know their craft but lose the room the moment they open their mouth. Link in bio.

UX Tip: Your portfolio is a place to showcase your work, not to fight the user’s OS. Please stop replacing the system cursor with giant, laggy circles. They add latency, hide content, and break the expected feedback loop. Stick to the default cursor. Focus on the work, not the "wow" factor. #UXDesign #PortfolioTips #UIUX

@examaddaorg 100%

@awesh Exactly AI multiplies clarity, not confusion. Think deep, prompt smart.

tbh, most designers are using Figma Make like a magic button. Type prompt. See output. Repeat. Type prompt. See output. Repeat. Type prompt. See output. Repeat. And then 30 prompts later all credits are gone. And after all this the Design still doesn’t make sense. AI doesn’t fix unclear thinking. It just executes it faster. Think first. Prompt once. Refine twice.

@Timrdk True. Pre-AI or post-AI, clear briefs win.

@awesh The brief hasn't changed - designers just stopped writing it. Before AI tools existed, we still had people who skipped the thinking and jumped straight to pixels. Figma Make just made that habit more expensive.

@examaddaorg Exactly 👍 but I see new designers are not utilising its real power.

@awesh AI accelerates execution, but never replaces the clarity that comes from thinking deeply first.

@SreeramG Nailed it. Improvisation = curiosity with momentum.

@awesh Improvisation is just curiosity with momentum.

Nobody teaches improvisation in UX. But it's the skill that separates good designers from great ones. Good designers deliver what was asked. Great designers deliver that - then ask what's still broken. Good designers wait for feedback. Great designers create it before anyone asks. Good designers close Figma at 6pm. Great designers open Notes at 11pm because something felt wrong. Improvisation isn't extra work. It's the actual work.
