How I Use Claude as My Design Assistant: A Game-Changer for UI/UX Work
After countless hours wrestling with design decisions and spacing inconsistencies, I discovered something that completely changed my workflow — using Claude as a design assistant. Here’s how it has transformed how I work and how you can leverage it.
Although I am not a UI/UX designer, I am a Full-Stack web developer who sometimes needs to design.
The Initial Discovery
I was working on a mobile app project, struggling with consistent spacing and component alignment when I decided to ask Claude for help. To my surprise, Claude didn’t just give me generic design advice—it provided detailed, actionable guidance that felt like having a senior designer review my work.
What Claude Can Help With
1. Design System Documentation
Instead of creating spacing documentation from scratch, I simply ask Claude to break down the spacing rules for my designs. It provides comprehensive guides including:
- Precise measurements for components
- Padding and margin rules
- Grid system recommendations
- Typography hierarchies
