Short notes, written from agency life

Notes from real projects.

Short, practical pieces on design systems, handoff, workshops, UX writing and working with AI. What I do, why, and where AI fits. A few minutes each.

Stop taking screenshots. Just point.

I wanted to comment on 10 spots on one screen. Did I really need 10 screenshots?

    "We want an app like Shopee." Cool. Which part?

    A client wanted "Shopee, but for fresh produce." Here's how I turned a chaotic room into one MVP.

    Thai copy that does not read like a translation

    "2 seats left" became "the seats on the left" in Thai. Later came thousands of rows of copy in a Google Sheet. So I built a tool to check the AI.

    I was scared to close my terminal

    I had one Ghostty tab per project, and I never dared to close any of them. So I built an app to get back in.

    Put the project name on the bottom bar

    I kept sending tasks to the wrong terminal. A small Claude Code mod fixed most of it.

    "What is Frame 237?"

    Unnamed layers caused me trouble three times: with developers, with AI, and with a big team in a hurry.

    AI drafts the prototype. I own the flow.

    My company asked for real prototypes on a phone. I taught my team to build them with AI. What worked was not what we tried first.

    Three Figma plugins, zero TypeScript skills

    I built three Figma plugins before AI was this good. The first two took a very long time. The third, a few months later, went much faster.

    GitHub is my undo button

    I do not write code, but every AI change still gets a save point, a safe branch, and a review before it ships.

  9. Tools · 2 min read

    MCP for designers

    A plug that lets the AI see your actual tools. How I use it in Figma, GitHub and the browser.

    The AI skills I actually use

    A skill is my own process, written down once, so the AI follows it every time instead of guessing.

    RTL is not a mirror, sorry

    A mirrored file is not an RTL design. What flips, what stays, and who checks it.

    Mood and tone before the first screen

    Before tokens or AI, there is a direction the client and I pick by hand. How I get there.

    Tokens first, panic never

    Why colour, type and spacing become variables before the first screen, and which part AI can draft.
