Evolving product design workflows: Figma vs. AI code generation
tnduskim · reddit · 2026-08-18
The author explores how the 'default' product design workflow is shifting as AI tools improve. Their current process involves designing core screens in Figma to establish direction and visual language, using component libraries for the rest, and then building with AI. The author questions whether workflows will move further away from Figma toward direct code generation with tools like Cursor or Claude, and invites discussion on the differences between solo builders and teams with dedicated designers.
