I Redesigned My Portfolio with ChatGPT Astra, Image 2.5 & Figma MCP!
I redesigned my UX/product design portfolio using ChatGPT Astra, ChatGPT Images 2.5, ChatGPT Codex, and Figma MCP.
In this video, I show how I used ChatGPT to rethink my portfolio strategy, inspect my old site, explore new positioning, generate new visual direction with Image 2.5, connect to my Figma design system through Figma MCP, and move between code and Figma when I needed more manual design control.
This is not just an AI portfolio redesign. It is a real workflow for designers who want to use ChatGPT, Codex, and Figma together without losing taste, craft, or control.
You’ll see:
- How I used ChatGPT Astra to brainstorm and refine my portfolio direction
- How ChatGPT Codex helped me work with my GitHub portfolio project
- How Figma MCP connected my design system, components, typography, and colors
- How ChatGPT Images 2.5 helped create stronger custom visuals
- Why I still send work back into Figma for hands-on design decisions
- How AI can speed up portfolio work while still keeping the designer in the loop
The biggest shift for me is not replacing Figma. It is learning when to use ChatGPT and Codex for speed, when to use Image 2.5 for visual exploration, and when to return to Figma for precision, taste, and control.
If you are a UX designer, product designer, design leader, or creative professional exploring ChatGPT for design workflows, Figma MCP, AI portfolio redesigns, or ChatGPT Codex for designers, this walkthrough shows a practical example of how these tools can work together.
How are you designing today? Are you spending more time inside ChatGPT and AI agents, or are you still doing most of your refinement manually in Figma? I’d love to hear how your workflow is changing.
