AI didn’t replace my design process. It changed how fast I could execute it.

AI has not replaced the design process but has significantly increased execution speed. In UI/UX workflows, AI excels at generating ideas, while designers remain responsible for determining what to build and why users care. The updated workflow integrates PRD, user flows, wireframes, AI-assisted exploration, UI design, prototypes, and testing. The primary advantage is the rapid transition from concepts to tangible results. Designers must now determine how to utilize these evolving tools without sacrificing critical thinking.
