In this brief overview, Samuel Fabayo walks through the six core tools that power his daily UX design workflow. He uses Cursor for AI‑assisted coding, valuing its model‑switching flexibility and superior user experience. Figma remains his primary design environment, where he builds design system foundations and refines intricate details that are hard to capture with prompts alone. ChatGPT serves as a rapid illustration generator, with the outputs subsequently polished in Figma. CleanShot is employed for quick screenshot capture and annotation, enabling clear communication of corrections with minimal prompting. GitHub stores his code repositories, while Vercel handles deployment to staging and production, completing the end‑to‑end pipeline from design to live product.
