Anyone else ever finish a design and then realize the next step is basically… “okay, now I need a developer”? 😅 That gap has been bugging me lately. I’ve been experimenting with treating the whole thing less like a design handoff and more like one continuous process: Context → Concept → Prototype → Build → Ship For the actual workflow, I’ve been using Figma for the design and prototyping, ChatGPT or Claude to help work through ideas and turn the structure into something buildable, and Floment to keep the projects, tasks, and actual shipping work organized. The biggest difference for me has been not asking AI to magically figure everything out from a screenshot. If I already know the context, the concept, and how the prototype should work, the AI part becomes way more useful. And honestly, the Ship phase is the one I’m trying to get better at. A beautiful design sitting in Figma is nice. A working URL is a lot more satisfying. Curious how other designers here handle that transition. Do you usually hand things off to a developer, build it yourself, or use tools like AI and Floment somewhere in the middle?

Rebuilt my portfolio site in ~2 hours for under $10 of AI credits. Recorded the whole thing. Went from a dashboard UI (sidebar, splash screen, animated background) to one clean page. Not much here that needs a big intro, just a real process you can watch. Two small things that made the difference: I fed the AI static HTML files of two inspo sites instead of describing them, and I cloned my own repo instead of starting over. One thing I still can't do: endless scroll. It keeps breaking with the sticky nav. If you know why, I'm all ears. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uk-ww-yA-yQ New site is live: studiodrewskii.com
