Ogaga John compartilhou issoBuilt an interactive checkout card UI using AI (prompt-driven) Just an idea, translated into a working component through prompt-only design. This experiment tested how far AI can go when the only input is the clarity of thought. Tool used - Lovable

Ogaga John compartilhou issoLately, I’ve been running a simple experiment with AI and UI design. No references. No screenshots. No inspiration boards. Just prompts. The idea is to see how far these tools can go when everything depends on how clearly something is described. The workflow is straightforward: Pick a UI component → break it down in detail → describe layout, spacing, states, and interactions → turn that into a prompt → feed it into tools like Lovable or Anything . Every detail matters. Hover states, click behavior, transitions, micro-interactions… everything gets translated into words. It’s starting to feel less like “generating UI” and more like “designing through language.” Still early, but it’s been fun pushing this further with more complex components and interactions. Curious to see how far this can go.

Ogaga John compartilhou istoOgaga John compartilhou istoThis past weekend was one of those weekends where time disappears when you’re deep in code. I set out to build a replica of the Gemini AI chatbot interface. The goal wasn’t to build a full production-ready AI system, but to challenge myself to work more with JavaScript and APIs while recreating a familiar product experience. What followed was a very eventful weekend of experimentation. A lot of trial and error, a lot of debugging and even more research. Starting with the Interface, as a product designer, my instinct is always to start with the experience. I studied the Gemini interface, how conversations appear, how responses stream, the spacing of messages, and the simplicity of the layout. The goal was to replicate that conversational feel while keeping the UI minimal. Once the interface structure was ready, the real challenge began: connecting the chatbot to an API and making it behave like a real assistant. Learning Through APIs: working with APIs was one of the biggest learning points in this project. Sending requests, receiving responses, parsing the data, and then rendering the output dynamically in the UI required a lot of iteration. Sometimes the responses worked immediately. Other times, they broke in ways that forced me to step back and rethink my approach. Debugging became part of the learning process. Console logs became my best friend. Every small improvement, whether it was fixing a response delay or handling user input correctly, felt like a win. One thing this project reminded me of is how similar design and engineering actually are. Both disciplines rely heavily on iteration. You try something,it doesn’t quite work, you research, you tweak it. You try again and eventually, it clicks. That cycle repeated many times throughout the weekend. Once everything was working well enough, I deployed the chatbot to Vercel. Seeing something you built locally actually live on the internet is always a great feeling. One small disclaimer, though: the API calls are not unlimited 😅. So if the chatbot stops responding at some point, it’s probably just the usage limit kicking in. As someone transitioning deeper into design engineering, these hands-on builds help bridge the gap between designing experiences and actually implementing them. This weekend’s project was another step in that direction, and of course… many more experiments are coming. You can check it out at: https://lnkd.in/dGFzXCep #designengineering #ai #product

Ogaga John compartilhou istoOgaga John compartilhou istoOne of the questions I asked Alison Eyo recently was: How do designers sell design-led solutions in organizations that are primarily business-led? Her answer was refreshingly honest. First: business leaders speak a different language. Not typography. Not spacing systems. Not pixel perfection. They speak money. If you're presenting a design solution, don’t just walk stakeholders through screens. Walk them through impact. Instead of saying: "We redesigned the onboarding flow." Say: "We reduced onboarding from 1 minute to 30 seconds by removing 5 steps and auto-fetching KYC data. That means faster user activation and potentially higher conversion." That’s when design stops being aesthetic and starts becoming strategic. She also made another powerful point: Designers shouldn’t be overly attached to their opinions. Sometimes the best move is: "Let’s launch this version, run a pilot, and learn from the data." Because the truth is, business leaders aren’t ignoring design. They simply see the problem through a different lens: the broader business vision. 🎯 And what does career growth look like for mid to senior designers? Answer in the comments.

Ogaga John compartilhou issoThis is exactly what I’m teaching inside my upcoming Product Design Masterclass. This program is built for junior and mid-level designers who want to move beyond just pushing pixels and start thinking like real product designers. Here’s what we’ll cover: 👉Product & Design Thinking • Design thinking and product thinking • Understanding business objectives • Using AI to uncover user insights • The modern product design process • Leveraging AI for UX thinking 👉Design Foundations • Typography 101 • UX color systems • Responsive layouts 👉Design Systems • Design tokens • Figma components • Figma variables 👉Real-World Designer Skills • Freelance 101 • Managing client relationships • Working with stakeholders and product teams And at the end of the masterclass, you’ll work on a Portfolio Capstone Project to turn everything you learn into a real case study. The goal is simple: Help designers become confident product thinkers, not just UI designers. If you're a junior or mid-level designer trying to level up, this masterclass is for you.

Ogaga John gostou dissoOgaga John gostou dissoGood morning Goodness… I got a contract job for a finance project… And I couldn’t be more grateful to you and your team. I got this message recently and it honestly made my day. I read it again. And my first response was literally: “Oh my God… really?” Because I remember her journey. The questions. The uncertainty. The moments of “am I even ready for this?” And now… a real opportunity. Not just learning. But Results...! Moments like this remind me why I do what I do. Because a lot of designers are not lacking talent. They’re just: * Unsure of their next step * Lacking the right guidance * Trying to figure everything out alone And sometimes, all it takes is: The right nudge. The right structure. The right support. That’s what we focus on inside Mentorship With Goodness (MWG). And honestly… seeing messages like this will never get old. I’m so proud of her. And so grateful to God for moments like this. And now, we’re opening the doors again. Registration for the next Cohort of Mentorship with Goodness is now open. If you’re ready to stop guessing and start making real progress in your UX journey: You can register using the link below https://lnkd.in/dB2G_vqr I’m excited for the next set of “good morning” messages 😊 PS: Registration closes soon.

Ogaga John gostou dissoOgaga John gostou dissoDown to my footers. Quality must be retained. That's the standard I hold on every project. Not just the hero section that gets the most attention or the parts that end up in the case study. Every section a visitor might scroll to, every detail they might hover over. Should always be an extension of the brand and messaging.

That’s always been the focus at Mentorship With Goodness (MWG). We’re not just here to talk about design. We’re here to guide designers on how to position themselves for real opportunities in the industry. The screenshots in this post? They’re just a glimpse of what happens when the right guidance meets the right effort. From: → Gaining clarity in their UX journey → Building stronger, portfolio-ready case studies → Positioning themselves confidently for opportunities These are the kinds of transformations we care about. And honestly… Seeing these results will always be one of the most rewarding parts of this work. But I didn’t do this alone. My amazing team from the last cohort Modupe Laosun Oladunni Olayemi Faith Ebi Schulze Faith Ojumola Adeola Ogunbowale Sinmiloluwa Ogedengbe Joshua Uriel Ndubuisi showed up fully. They gave their time, energy, and expertise to support every mentee, and their impact speaks through these results. And above all, I’m deeply grateful to God, whose grace continues to make all of this possible. If you’re still trying to find your way in the design field, you don’t have to figure everything out alone. At Mentorship With Goodness (MWG) we help designers: • Gain clarity on the right UX career path for them • Build strong, portfolio-ready case studies • Understand how to position themselves for opportunities • Improve their design thinking and problem-solving skills • Get practical feedback on their work • Learn how to present themselves confidently to recruiters and hiring teams If this is what you’ve been looking for, registration for the next cohort is now open.
