Howdy folks! Below are 3 key design tactics I learned from interviewing Andy McClelland at ESO about how he uses AI for designing healthcare products. What’s your biggest takeaway?
1. Your PRD is the first AI prompt
Andy doesn’t waste time on figuring out the perfect prompt or one shotting. Instead he uses Miro AI to create a PRD based on his design discovery findings. Then he pastes that whole PRD straight into Magic Patterns as the initial prompt.
As a result the first prototype created using AI is already 60 to 70% of the way there!
2. Move your design system out of Figma
Maintaining the design system in Figma was a huge resource sink for the ESO design team. Five designers, no dedicated system owner, constant back and forth with engineering to keep Storybook in parity.
So Andy and the design team rebuilt the entire design system in Magic Patterns in a week. When a user tests one of Andy's prototypes now nothing feels off because the prototype uses production components.
3. Set up AI guardrails
Instead of re-prompting over and over for consistency Andy's team baked the healthcare standards, brand, UX laws and other context into Magic Patterns as rules.
This cuts the random nature of AI so the same prompt stops giving four different looking results. And it lets PMs and execs prototype without going outside the lines!
