Insights on design workflows, AI prototyping, and building production-grade product faster.
There are three kinds of product designers today, and only one of them ships to production. Here is what design engineering is, why the design handoff is where most work dies, and how designers are learning to design in code.
Discover how modern design teams are transforming their workflow from Figma to code using AI assistance, enabling faster iteration and better collaboration.
A strategy can survive every planning cycle and still get lost on the way to the product. For design leaders in large companies, the handoff between design and engineering is the leak point closest to their control.
Discover how AI prototyping tools like Modeinspect are transforming product development by bridging the gap between design and code, enabling faster iteration, and solving real team collaboration challenges.
AI made writing UI code cheap. It did not make shipping it faster, because the bottleneck moved to review and rework. What the 2025 and 2026 data shows, and the workflow the teams that do ship faster have in common.
Inconsistent handoffs between design and development can cause polished user experiences to lose their impact - spacing, typography, and interactions can shift, leaving the final product far from the original vision.
Vague requests produce vague products. A prototype turns “make onboarding better” into something people can react to. The benefits of prototyping, what the research says, and which kind of prototype answers which question.
What Cursor gives designers today, where a code editor gets in the way of design work, and how it compares with a design-first tool on the same codebase.
Prelude's design team replaced static Figma mockups with high-fidelity prototypes on their own codebase and real data.
