DesignSystem
Situation
Luminary AI was shipping 2-3 features per quarter because every new screen required custom design from scratch. The 2-person design team was the bottleneck.
Task
Cut feature design from 2 weeks to 3 days shipping 8 features per quarter
Action
Created a component library in Figma with Claude-generated usage guidelines, then built a Framer prototype pipeline where Claude translates PRDs into wireframe specifications that map directly to existing components. Midjourney handles illustration and iconography needs.
Result
Feature design cycle dropped from 2 weeks to 3 days average, and the team shipped 8 features in Q4 2025 vs. 3 in Q3.

DesignWorkflow
Situation
Needed deep qualitative research for a product pivot but couldn't afford a dedicated researcher or agency. Previous research was ad hoc interviews with no systematic analysis.
Task
Complete 50-person research in 3 weeks vs 8-week agency timeline with 4 product insights
Action
Recruited 50 participants via UserTesting and Respondent. Recorded sessions, transcribed with Whisper, then used Claude to tag themes, extract quotes, identify patterns, and generate an insight report with confidence scores. Built a Notion research repository anyone on the team can query.
Result
Completed research in 3 weeks (vs. 8-week agency estimate), identified 4 unmet needs that became the product roadmap, and the Notion repo became the team's source of truth for user insights.
