Case Study: Admin AI Dashboard

Building an Admin Portal MVP in 2 Days – AI-Powered UX & Development

Role

Product Designer

Tools

AI IDE (Cursor/Lovable) + Openai

Methods

The Challenge

The stakeholders needed a functional admin portal—fast. Traditionally, this would require a designer + a developer over 1-2 weeks. Instead, I designed & coded the MVP in 2 days using AI IDEs.

The Goal

Prove AI tools can accelerate product development without sacrificing UX.

AI-Assisted Design

I used Lovable AI to generate initial UI components & layouts.

The output was fast but needed refinement to align with UX best practices.

Initial Prompt DesignAfter adjustments

Refining the UX for a Real Product

AI-generated designs often lack cohesion, usability, and hierarchy.

My focus was turning AI output into a clean, functional experience.

No-Code Frontend Development – Shipping It in 2 Days

Instead of a developer handoff, I built the frontend myself using Cursor AI. Integrated mock data to simulate real use cases. Ensured responsive design & usability across devices.

Final Product – Ready for Testing

Delivered a clickable, functional MVP for testing in 2 days.

Stakeholders approved for iteration & scaling

Why This Matters – AI & Product Design at Speed

AI can accelerate product design but needs human oversight. This project shows that with the right approach, a single designer can bridge UX & development to ship MVPs faster.

Outcome

AI-assisted tools accelerate design & development

UX still requires human expertise to ensure usability

I can deliver working products FAST without sacrificing quality
