‘Ready Set Ford’ AI Brand Brain
Created a Figma plugin that analyzes design components for brand guideline adherence and assigns a compliance grade in real time. The tool also integrates an LLM chat, allowing designers to ask questions, brainstorm ideas, and get contextual guidance without leaving their design workflow.
This Visual Brain is an intelligent Figma plugin that leverages AI to automatically analyze designs against RSF brand guidelines, ensuring perfect brand compliance in real-time. This tool helps the Creative Experience team maintain design coherence throughout the process, increasing efficiency and improving both speed and output quality.
Brand guidelines lived in decks/docs instead of the design flow
Designers had to context-switch to check rules
Inconsistencies happened across files, teams, or timelines
Feedback cycles were slow and repetitive
The initial sketch
The idea started on a notebook paper after observing the team’s workflow and ideating where AI could be implemented to improve efficiency.
I saw an opportunity for real-time brand alignment in the workspace the designers use- Figma.
Why AI + Figma specifically?
Designers don’t want more tools, they want less friction
Brand thinking should happen during design, not after
AI can act as a “brand brain,” not just a checker

Solution and Impact
The concept was reviewed and endorsed by the CTO of VML MAP. I then presented the system directly to the Agentic AI team in Copenhagen, demonstrating how brand intelligence can be embedded into creative workflows. Following these discussions, leadership identified the approach as a scalable model, with plans to expand its use across multiple brands and global teams within the organization.
RSF Brand Brain AI embeds brand intelligence directly into Figma, guiding creative decisions in real time. By replacing static brand documents with contextual, in-flow guidance, the system reduced inconsistencies, minimized rework, and accelerated design output while remaining flexible enough to scale across multiple brands and global teams.
