Taste, judgment, and the ability to defend a design choice stay human. How it builds AI experience The role offers hands‑on practice using AI coding tools like Claude to apply design rules in real frontend code, plus experience designing screens for voice agents that handle live customer calls. To build this beforehand, try creating a small design system and using an AI assistant to turn it into working components.
