Independent product designer based in Singapore, formerly Lead Product Designer at Grab. Publishing a weekly build log as part of AI-assisted design workflow challenge, and running short diagnostic sprints for teams adopting AI into their design process.https://madebychip.com/enhttps://madebychip.com/articles/design-to-code/https://madebychip.com/articles/design-to-code/I designed a tutorial page template in Figma, exported it into Paper (a design tool with a built-in MCP server), and had Claude Code build the entire HTML page from the artboard. One afternoon, fully responsive, light and dark mode, working interactions. But the first raw output—before any design input—was a mess: crammed author row, broken assets, a sidebar covering mobile content. Once I handed it a real design, Claude got a surprising number of things right without being asked: nav hover states, a copy button success animation, the full FAQ accordion, and a complete dark mode I never designed. The things it couldn't do on its own still needed my eye: assets that corrupted on import, font weights that didn't survive the Figma-to-Paper transfer, and layout precision that took three rounds of prompting and a screenshot reference to land. The designer's role didn't disappear. It shifted.

Five animations, built in one afternoon, on a fraction of one AI subscription session. No motion-design background required beyond knowing what "good" looks like when you see it. If your team currently waits on this kind of work or outsources it, this changes who can do it and how fast it comes back.

I redesigned the whole flow by hand: research, wireframes, judgment, no AI. Then I gave the identical brief to Claude and a design tool called Paper. AI returned three fully-formed strategic directions in minutes, and caught one mistake I'd glossed over. But it couldn't tell which direction fit a product that has to serve both families and enterprise IT teams, and it missed an entire user segment— the solo business owner—entirely. Every key decision was still mine to make. Sat, 04 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMT
