How Razorpay Designers use AI to Ship 8 Projects a Month

Summary

Razorpay's design team ships 8 projects monthly by skipping Figma for small projects and using AI tools exclusively—but their secret weapon is structured feedback loops with 4-5 weekly design walkthroughs where their design leader provides written, in-depth critique on every project.

Key Takeaways

  1. Skip design tools for small projects. For simple features, think through the solution mentally and code directly without opening Figma—this saves time on low-complexity work.
  2. Implement 4-5 weekly design walkthroughs with leadership. Structured office hours create predictable feedback loops, reducing pressure on designers to simultaneously take notes and remember verbal feedback.
  3. Document all feedback in written threads, not verbal-only feedback. This allows designers to reference critique later and ask follow-up questions asynchronously, improving iteration quality.
  4. Leadership should be hands-on and see every project. Sony reviews all work and provides in-depth feedback on granular details, setting quality standards across the team—not just people management.
  5. Use multiple feedback formats: design walkthroughs, AI open hours, and builder days. Varied meeting structures cater to different learning needs and keep the team aligned on new tools and techniques.

When you work on a project, do you create some rough sketches or do you directly go into these AI tools and start like white coding? What does that process look like? If it's a small and simple enough project, I will honestly just think of it in my head and code it directly. I can show you a conversation raised PR for the new rewards changes. That was a small, very small project. Here are the screenshots. Figma not available. I did not open Figma for this. So these are the kinds of things that sometimes happen. So that's for a small project. If it's a bigger project, of course, it needs ideation, iterations, brainstorming that is done on cloud artifacts. What are the different tools you use? >> We use the general guitpt. We're literally using everything. I think I have my claw open at all …
