Take an AI-generated baseline and iteratively polish it in Figma—adjusting spacing, hierarchy, components, and visual details—until the interface feels premium and intentional.
Taste, judgment, and craft (what feels “premium,” coherent, and on-brand) come from the designer; AI is only the starting draft.
After generating a rough layout, the designer uses AI assistance to swap in design-system components, create variants, and standardize spacing/Auto Layout for a more refined UI.
Figma AI / Figma DesignAI proposes typography pairings and color palette options that the designer auditions and adjusts to reach a more premium visual tone.
Khroma / FontjoyThe designer runs automated checks on the refined UI to catch contrast, focus order, and accessibility issues before finalizing the premium look.
Stark (Figma plugin)I just dropped a 10 minute UI masterclass.
In the era of AI-built interfaces, design is the moat.
I started with a basic layout generated in Figma Make (Gemini), then iterated on it heavily in Figma until it felt premium and intentional.
After 10+ years in UI, this is the exact process I use to design a premium-looking interface.
