Jestem UX-em / prod Designerem z dość długim stażem ale od dłuższego czasu myślę o rzuceniu korpo i spróbowaniu sił na własną rękę. Ostatnie parę miesięcy szkole się w obszarze budowania produktów z AI (nie typowe AI slop) ale z dość ograniczoną wiedzą deweloperską, myślę też żeby do współpracy wziąć znajomego deva. Myślę, że chciałbym działać na zasadach podobnych do tych panujących w software house’ach. Dowożenie kompletnych produktów dla klientów. Promowanie swoich usług i pozyskiwanie klientów to osobna materia (super ważna ofc) ale w tym wątku skupiam się na ogólnej wizji tego jak rozpocząć taką działalność i czy ma to jakikolwiek sens. Wszelkie opinie i sugestie mile widziane.

I'm a product/UX designer, and I've been working on a new portfolio for the past few days. I'm pretty satisfied with the current outcome. It's still a work in progress, and I still need to upload my projects and case studies (obviously the most important part), but I'm looking for some testers and honest feedback.

I don't have much development knowledge, so any comments on the technical side of the site are more than welcome too.

Most AI design demos focus on greenfield projects: you open Claude, Cursor, Lovable, etc., describe a screen, and it magically generates something from scratch.

But what about teams working on mature products with large, evolving Design Systems?

I work on a web application in the logistics industry that has been developed for several years. We have a complex Design System with hundreds of tokens, light/dark themes, component variants, and strict UI patterns. When I use AI design tools today, they usually generate layers and rectangles that look visually similar to our components, but they're not actual instances of our Design System components. Cleaning up the output often takes longer than building the screen manually in Figma.

My question is: has anyone successfully integrated AI into a workflow like this?

Can tools such as Claude Code, Cursor, MCP-based setups, or anything else realistically understand and work with an existing Design System so that generated designs use actual components, tokens, variants, and constraints rather than just approximating them visually?

Are there any production-ready workflows where AI can create prototypes that are genuinely close to what an experienced designer would build manually inside an established enterprise product, or is this still mostly useful for greenfield projects and inspiration?
