As a UX Designer I've worked on all aspects of the design process from researching our users to tracking analytics after a design is put into production. I believe there is no "hand-off" within the design process and that the designer should be working along with the rest of the team from the initial ideation through production. More recently, I've been exploring how AI can assist within the design processes. This includes using chatGPT, Copilot and more recently Vercel v0, Windsurf and Cursor.
