Tina SinghSenior UI DesignerUX + AI practice
I use AI in my design work, from accessibility fixes to the tools I build for myself. These six projects cover the decisions, results and issues I found along the way.
How I work with it
AI helps me explore and implement quickly. I stay responsible for the design decisions: what a control means, whether a pattern fits and whether the result works.
Every intent pack carries one hard rule: when the right answer is unclear, the agent flags it and stops. It never resolves the ambiguity itself. A confidently wrong accessible name passes the linter; a missing one at least shows up as a finding.
I specify which tasks each agent handles and which it passes to another tool or a person. That makes its output easier to review.
Four generated fixes were killed before review — all four wrong in the direction of more work. One automated scan I believed had reached the authenticated interior had been photographing the login screen. I caught it because the screenshots were 80KB instead of 400KB.
The work
Each case explains the problem, my decisions and the result.
Accessibility · People’s Choice, North America hackathon
An auditor says a criterion partially fails. That is accurate and one step short of actionable. I built the design half of the loop that closes that step — plain-language intent, an agent that drafts attribute-only patches, engineering reviewing normally.
Design systems · Generation quality
Free generation produced output that looked right and wasn’t — a correct type class with an inline override on the same element, a table token borrowed for navigation, a font size that doesn’t exist in the system. The fix was moving the rules onto the surface the generator reads.
Quality · Review method
Six components arrived for a final pass, four already signed off. I found defects in all six. Structural correctness says nothing about token correctness, and token correctness says nothing about contrast — so I stopped letting a pass on one imply a pass on another.
Agent architecture
I restructured more than thirty workflows so agents load current references only when needed, stay within their scope and hand off tasks they cannot answer.
Supply chain · Tooling security
I discovered that the application was loading a different version of the plugin I had reviewed. The readme promised no data left the machine; the live manifest had been permitting an external relay the whole time.
Knowledge architecture
I built a plain-markdown workspace for working notes and reusable methods. When its graph reported dozens of disconnected notes, checking the links revealed a bug in the graph itself.
Work in progress
The accessibility loop has a first batch in the repository and a second product group running the approach. Nothing from it is in production, and I say that in every update. The generation contract has a measured residual I haven’t closed: small text still leaks fourteen bare pixel values in one tier. Both of those belong on the page as much as the wins do.
