    65+

    Curated resources across 7 categories — every entry hand-picked and tested, not auto-aggregated.

    The only AI design resource library with a dedicated MCP category built for designers.

    Live

    Designed, built, and curated independently as a working product — no team, no funding, no handoff.

    The new era of creation — a resource stack for designers making the shift to AI-native.

    Overview

    A curated resource library for designers making the shift to AI-native. Not another list of tools — a structured stack organised around how AI-native designers actually work.

    The Solution

    65+ resources across seven categories: tools, reading, watching, learning, people to follow, communities to join, and MCP servers. The MCP category is the only one of its kind built specifically for designers.

    What I Did

    Framed the library for designers making the AI-native shift, structured seven categories from scratch, hand-curated 65+ resources, designed the comparison and detail panels, and shipped the working product independently — design, build, and curation end-to-end.

    Key Features

    • Tools — Editors, agents, vibe coding environments, AI design utilities, prototyping tools, and image/asset generators.
    • Read — Essays, articles, and longer-form writing on AI-native design and craft.
    • Watch — Talks, demos, and videos worth your time.
    • Learn — Structured courses and learning paths for designers.
    • Follow — People worth tracking in the AI-native design space.
    • Join — Communities where AI-native designers gather and trade notes.
    • MCPs — Model Context Protocol servers built for designers — the only category of its kind.

    Built With

    • Next.js — frontend framework and routing.
    • Cursor + Claude Code — AI-assisted building and iteration.
    • MagicPath — curation workflows and UI direction.
    • Paper — layout, design system decisions, and screen composition.

    Learnings & Reflections

    • Curating beats aggregating. Every resource was tested before it shipped — that discipline compounds as the list grows.
    • Building in the open is the marketing. The library is the case study for the design work I do every day.
    • Owning one category end-to-end. Adding MCPs-for-designers as a first-class section was the unlock — no one else has it.

    Designed, built, and curated independently

    AI Design HQ is an independent project — designed, built, and curated end-to-end. Every resource is hand-picked and organised around how AI-native designers actually work, not how vendors like to be categorised. Visit AI Design HQ →
