When I started my design journey, I thought the toughest part would be mastering Figma. Turns out, the real challenge was something else — getting unstuck.
Blank screens, tight deadlines, clients expecting magic overnight… that’s where I realized: maybe I don’t need to do it all alone.

So I started trying AI tools. Not as a shortcut, but as a creative partner. And honestly, some of them now feel like teammates I can’t imagine working without.

Here are the 10 tools that have actually made my life easier — with real moments where they saved me.

1. Khroma — My color whisperer 🎨

I used to spend hours scrolling Pinterest just to find “the vibe.” Khroma flipped that struggle. I trained it with a few of my favorite colors, and suddenly it started spitting out palettes that felt like me.

2. Runway ML — Beyond stock photos 🎬

There’s this moment every designer knows: you picture the perfect hero image in your head, but stock libraries… nope. That’s when I found Runway.

3. Uizard — From doodle to prototype ✍️

I’m someone who treats random notebooks like treasure maps for ideas. Before Uizard, those doodles were like secrets buried forever in the chaos of my desk. Now, I just upload them — boom! They transform into clickable wireframes, like magic but without the wand-waving.

4. Recraft — Image Generations for Designer

Designing icons one by one is slow. Recraft generates clean, editable icon sets that actually look consistent — perfect for apps, dashboards, or branding.

5. Lovart — Illustrations with character 🎨

Unlike generic stock illustrations, Lovart creates visuals that feel warm, creative, and more “human.” Great for onboarding screens, empty states, or landing pages.

6. UXPin — Prototypes that think ⚡

Figma prototypes look good, but they can’t show logic. UXPin lets you add conditions, variables, and interactions that make your prototypes behave like real apps.

7. Whimsical — Organize the chaos 🧠

Mind maps, flowcharts, wireframes — Whimsical is perfect for quickly getting messy ideas out of your head and into a structured format your team can follow.

✨ The truth? None of these tools can replace creativity. But they do remove the friction that slows creativity down. They give me time back — time I can spend actually designing, refining, and storytelling through my work.

When I look back, I realize AI didn’t just change how I design. It changed how I think about design.
