Practical writing from 17+ years of designing and building products: how to run UX audits and heuristic evaluations (including with AI), why the bigger picture matters before you design or vibe code, and how design systems, research and front-end craft fit together. Written for product designers, founders and teams who want products that are easy to use and quick to ship.
Before you dive into vibe coding your idea, make sure you have the bigger picture in place. Otherwise, you’ll find yourself drowning in prompts, patching issues that didn’t need to exist in the first place. And honestly if things get too tangled, the best option is often to just start over.
Creating a positive and impactful first experience for your users vastly increases the chances they’ll return. Yet, a product journey that leans too heavily on curiosity can leave them confused or frustrated, pushing them away. In UX design, clarity often trumps intrigue.
Ever wish you had an extra pair of eyes to review your designs before shipping? I recently discovered you can connect Claude with Figma to get detailed UX feedback in minutes. Here's how to set it up and use it to catch usability issues early.
