#028: What MCP is, reads, and how to prep your Figma file

3 min read An agent reading your Figma file over MCP sees more than most designers assume, and misses things nobody warns you about. I read my own files to find where the line runs. First, what MCP actually is, because the name makes it sound far bigger than it is. Think of it as a USB-C cable. B...

#021: Designing for the new era of radically adaptive UI

This week I got mildly obsessed with A2UI and radically adaptive UI. I struggle with how generic so much AI output looks, so I love the path I keep seeing in agentic design systems: the AI does not create from scratch, it assembles from solid, coded elements a designer built first.
