How a principal designer goes between canvas and code
New AI coding workflows seem to pop up daily. Most only look great in the X demo and fall apart on real projects. In this series, we sit down with senior engineers and watch, step by step, how they're actually using AI in their day-to-day development.
This week’s guest: Amelia Wattenberger
Amelia lives at the intersection of AI, design and engineering. Previously a Principal Research Engineer at Github, Amelia is currently building at Sutter Hill Ventures as a Partner, and is the Product Lead for Intent.
In this session we’ll dig into:
Connecting Figma via MCP and how designers are actually using it in their workflows
Prototyping: where design and code stay in lockstep through Figma MCP and Intent
How to structure specs well before a line of code is written
Join live, ask questions, and leave with workflows you can test in your own setup.
