“Nisa was a member of my computer graphics team at Information Spectrum, Inc. (now owned by General Dynamics) in the late 1990s. I found her to be a creative spirit and hard worker. She could be counted on for offering innovative solutions to design problems and was tireless in pursuing whatever task was presented to her. She is an asset to any company.”

Slick screens don’t scale products. Smart UX does. This chart nails it. Great design isn’t just how it looks..It’s how well it works. Beginner teams: “Make it pretty” Advanced teams: “Make it work and matter” The result? —Better retention —Faster growth — Real impact UX isn’t decoration. It’s direction. Design with intent. Win with impact. #UXDesign #ProductDesign #UserExperience #DesignSystems #Figma #SaaS #DesignThinking

Hot take for designers experimenting with AI + legacy systems: You don’t have to pick one AI tool and hope it integrates perfectly with your design archive. If you can get to the code, you can make it work. I’ve been testing different AI platforms for strategy and prototyping. What I realized: You can use any AI tool you’re comfortable with to think, prototype, and generate UI — as long as it outputs code. Then: 1. Copy the generated code 2. Paste it into Figma Make 3. Let Figma rebuild it using your UI/style library 4. Edit, refine, and share inside your real system That means: • Strategy can live anywhere • Prototyping can move fast • Your design system still governs the final output AI becomes a thinking partner. Figma stays the system of record. For teams sitting on years of legacy designs and wondering how to bridge that with AI experimentation — this is a practical path. #DesignSystems #AIforDesign #Figma #ProductDesign #DesignOps

Prompting is a design act—not just instructions. I value Smashing Magazine's view of prompts as designerly briefs and conversation design, guided by the WIRE+FRAME framework. A must for product and agile teams embracing AI. Explore the article: https://buff.ly/nty38xK #ProductManagement #Agile
