INFO
Led a 3-month transformative rebuilding of Anewgo.com to eliminate poorly generated AI content and align the site with the company’s tech-forward vision through vibe coding. I removed unnecessary clutter, improved clarity, and implemented intuitive navigation with engaging interactions. Key challenges included tight deadlines, content migration, and adapting the design process for immediate implementation. The result was a visually cohesive, interactive site launched on time. My experience reinforced that AI’s effectiveness in design depends on skilled human guidance, especially when balancing creativity and business needs.

TIMELINE
3 Months
ROLE
UI UX Designer
Previously, Anewgo’s website, entirely generated by Replit’s AI with no proper design system, failed to reflect the company’s future vision
Realizing this gap presented an opportunity for me to master ‘vibe coding’ and reclaim design direction from the AI.
A common issue in AI-generated design, like Anewgo's previous website, is the lack of supervision. Given less than three months, I had to research AI design tools, develop a workflow, and create a brand identity to address AI-generated layouts that were directionless, used inconsistent colors, had unclear hierarchy, and poor navigation. Some constraints included…
NO SWES
[ 1 ]
As a startup with SWEs dedicated to other projects, there was no support from dedicated software engineers, forcing me to communicate directly and efficiently with Replit’s AI.
TIME CONSTRAINT
[ 2 ]
NO SOLID BRAND GUIDE
[3]
I had to develop a brand new identity for Anewgo as I was designing. This lead to many trial and error scenrios.
Accessing the damage
Without restrictions on Replit's output, the website was filled with inconsistent AI-generated content, an outdated UI, random colors, fake information, and haphazard navigation. Ultimately, this made Anewgo, as a software company, appear untrustworthy.
Layouts without order and fake meta data
Inconsistent and outdated visual style
Outdated UI and unfriendly navigation
Familiarizing Myself with AI Landscape
Before using AI tools, I reviewed research articles published by Cornell, tech experts, and industry resources to learn their uses, challenges, and ethical implications.

When I set out to learn Vibe Code, my main goals were to prompt Replit's agent both efficiently and accurately. With every iteration, I found more effective ways to engineer prompts that yielded better visuals and enhanced functionality.

Finalized Workflow — After experimentation, I built out the rest of Anewgo.com using this workflow, still manually editing the prompts and features, as needed.
FEATURE
[1]
Designing a Dynamic Website
The final result was a highly interactive platform that showcases all of Anewgo's products and services.
FEATURE
[2]
New and Improved Branding
Instead of drawing inspiration from typical home builder websites, I looked to AI and software companies as the foundation for Anewgo's new branding. This approach was instrumental in establishing Anewgo's shift toward becoming an AI-driven architectural software business.
FEATURE
[3]
Consistency
Given the wide range of services, it was challenging to make Anewgo’s content accessible and readable. I solved this by creating Replit templates to standardize layouts, icons, and typography across the website, thus improving navigation.
Goals Achieved
A NEW "ANEWGO"
[ 1 ]
The final product is a visually unified, interactive website that meets user and client needs, features all services, supports podcasts and blogs, and runs with minimal oversight.
REDEFINED ANEWGO'S BUSINESS DIRECTION
[ 2 ]
By maintaining ongoing communication with the CEO and managers, I developed a brand that aligns with Anewgo’s new software direction. The website was successfully launched at a national home builder conference.
DESINGER VS AI
[3]
"AI CAN BE A GREAT TOOL, BUT IT'S ONLY AS GOOD AS THE DESIGNER BEHIND IT"
AI can be powerful in design when guided by thoughtful human direction. As a designer and artist, I remain cautious and healthily critical about AI’s place in creative work due to social concerns, but I acknowledge its utility in streamlining products where business requirements demand agility.
