Don't pay a designer $50/hr on Fiverr.

Here's how to set up Claude Design completely:

_

Step 1. Go to claude .ai/design (bookmark the url).

Sign in with Pro or Max plan.

Create one folder: "Claude Design."

Drop every brand asset you own inside: logos, past decks, landing pages, brand PDF.

_

Step 2. Build your DESIGN .md.

Open Claude Cowork. Point it at the folder.

Paste:

Analyze this folder and produce a full design system write-up. Fonts, colors, graphical styles, component patterns, tone, layout conventions. Flag anything missing. Save it as DESIGN .md.

_

Step 3. Lock in your prompt structure.

4 inputs: goal, layout, content, constraints.

Bad: "Build me a pricing page."

Good: "Build a pricing page for [product]. 3 tiers, annual/monthly toggle, sticky CTA on mobile. Tone: premium, strategic — think Stripe + Anduril. Match DESIGN .md."

_

Step 4. Pick the format.

Wireframe → full websites & landing pages.

Slide deck → pitch decks (with speaker notes).

From template → 45-sec animated videos.

_

Step 5. Generate, then iterate.

Structural changes in the chat: "Show me 3 alternative layouts."

Pixel changes in the canvas: click edit, highlight what you want changed.

Responsive checks: "Generate desktop, tablet, and mobile versions."

_

Step 6. Export.

PPTX, PDF, standalone HTML, or a Code bundle.

Go to getdesign .md & download .md files of brands

Upload Mastercard, Airbnb, or Ferrari's to Claude Design - & your output inherits their visual DNA.
