From Mockups to Merged PRs: An AI-Native Designer’s Playbook

Ayon helps designers and PMs become technically dangerous with AI: able to prototype, automate, and ship like builders.

Ayon was an early employee at Eve, an a16z-backed AI unicorn. A founding designer with hands-on experience with product management and development, he now bypasses Figma to do 95% of his work directly in code.

He trained his team on AI-native workflows, created a code-based prototyping environment for the designers at Eve, and has taught 10+ hands-on workshops on topics like claude code, cursor, git, and using a design system with AI tools.

He wants an army of technically dangerous, AI powered designers to see their vision fulfilled.

Xinran Ma is the founder and author of Design with AI, speaker, and award-winning designer.

Design with AI is one of the fastest-growing AI communities with over 40K subscribers from companies like Google, Amazon, Microsoft, and McKinsey.

One of his lightning sessions is Maven's most watched design class with over 7K signups, and he teaches a top design and AI course on Maven: AI for Product Designers

He regularly delivers lectures and conducts AI workshops at places such as Microsoft, Columbia Business School, UXPA, the City of Vancouver, Workday, and Pratt Institute.

Xinran has also written multiple Amazon #1 New Release books in UX.
