UX isn’t about pixels first — it’s about thinking first. Great experiences come from understanding user goals, reducing friction, and anticipating behavior before designing any interface. Strong UX isn’t what looks good — it’s what works effortlessly. https://lnkd.in/dR4UgznJ #UXDesign #ProductDesign #UserExperience #DesignThinking #UXStrategy

Design is often treated as a layer. In reality — it’s a system that directly impacts revenue. Nowhere is this more visible than in payment flows. This is where intent meets friction. Where trust is tested. Where businesses either convert — or lose users. In this piece, we explore how: • UX decisions influence conversion, trust, and retention • Cognitive friction becomes financial loss at scale • Payment design can outperform growth efforts in ROI Good payment UX isn’t loud. It’s invisible — and highly effective.

Did you know that Claude Code and Figma now support two-way communication? You can publish a design from Claude directly to Figma, refine it in Figma, and then sync those changes back to the coded version of the design. This starts to blur the line between design and implementation — making iteration between designers and developers much faster.

Winter was for building. Spring is for Figma Make and Claude 💎 A new season is a reminder that products evolve. Interfaces should too.
Claude + Figma. AI is no longer just assisting design — it’s starting to shape the workflow itself. I recently connected MCP with Claude inside Figma to explore what AI-native design could look like in practice. Instead of treating it like a demo, I pushed it through real setup tasks designers actually do. In this video, I’m using Claude to: • Create typography, color, and spacing styles • Build a button component with variants • Generate a card component from a prompt • Edit UI directly using prompts The biggest shift isn’t speed — it’s interaction. You stop “drawing every pixel” and start directing systems, refining outputs, and focusing on decisions that actually matter. Feels less like using Figma. More like collaborating with intelligence inside it. Still exploring what’s possible here, but this direction is hard to ignore. Comment “MCP” and I’ll share the GitHub link so you can try it yourself. #AI #Claude #Figma #DesignSystems #ProductDesign #UXDesign #FutureOfWork
