What you need
Steps
Open Claude Design from your Claude account on a paid plan. It is in beta and now runs on your normal plan usage instead of a separate limit.
Set up your design system first. Enter your brand colours, fonts and logo once, because every asset you build afterwards pulls from this.
Choose the model and pick a template that matches what you want to make. The template gives you a starting layout you can edit.
Build a prototype by describing the page you need, such as a signup form. Ask for a working, clickable version so you can test the flow.
Create a slide deck by prompting for the number of slides and the topic. Check the output against what you would get in Canva, Gamma or PowerPoint.
Generate a document, such as a one-page infographic, and tell it which facts and figures to include.
Make a wireframe for a full five-page website. Ask for the page list and the section order on each page before any visual styling.
Add an animated header for the site by describing the motion you want. Keep it short so it loads quickly.
Put the pieces together and check that the colours, fonts and logo match across every asset. Fix anything off-brand in the design system rather than one file at a time.
Tips and common mistakes
Do not skip the design system step, because it is what keeps every asset on brand.
Heavy design sessions still use more of your plan allowance, so batch your work.
Ask for one asset at a time and review it before moving to the next.
Higgsfield is a separate tool you connect through an MCP connector, it is not built in.
Questions
Do I need design skills to use Claude Design?
No. You describe what you want in plain text and it builds the layout, then you refine it. Setting up the design system first does most of the work.
Is Claude Design free?
No, it needs a paid Claude plan such as Pro, Max, Team or Enterprise. It is in beta, so features can change.
Can I export the designs to Canva or PowerPoint?
The video compares the slide output to Canva, Gamma and PowerPoint but does not show a specific export step. Check the current export options inside the tool before you start.
