How Anthropic's Claude Design Has Already Saved Me 10 Hours of Work
Design has been my biggest time suck. I've either used tools like Nano Banana Pro or Gamma that spit out subpar outputs and need a lot of tweaking, or I manually built everything in Canva, hunched over my laptop, swearing at it every five minutes because I forgot to lock something or the tool couldn't do what I envisioned.
Claude Design has let me speed up my design workflow. You can hand off basic design work to an AI model while keeping the customization and flexibility that image-only AI tools can't match. It's not a replacement for a professional designer, but it can provide a good starting point to work from. Here's how I've used it so far.

I used Gamma before, but the design was weak and the points always felt generic. I tried putting Claude's output into Gamma, but the design was still pretty basic. You can tell when someone's phoned it in and used a Gamma deck.
