The design process is changing fast. If someone tells you they've stopped designing in Figma because they now design directly with Claude or Codex, believe them. I watched my friend, who is a top design talent, build a beast of a tool (B2C btw) without touching Figma, all at the cost of $$$$ From my experience, not every product needs to be designed in Figma first. If you're experienced enough to turn the design in your head into clear instructions for Claude or Codex and guide it to build something clean, that works 100%. I still use Figma a lot for collaboration and exploring visual layouts or different directions. It's faster for me because once I decide on a direction, I can send the link to that frame to Claude or Codex to keep building it. When I work with engineers who need the designs for development, I design every state in Figma because I don't want them making assumptions. For motion, I try to recreate the components with the animation built directly into the code, or I create the motion in Figma using Motion. Every team works differently, and design roles are changing. As a designer, my advice is simple: learn to adapt. Figma is still an essential tool for many teams and designers. It all depends on how you work.

A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to get my portfolio reviewed by @krispuckett. I took his feedback seriously and went back to the drawing board. The result? See for yourself creativestefan.work Would love to hear what you think.
