The 80/20 of picking the right design tool:

 

1. Canva: templates that ship today but look like every other template. Best for social posts and first drafts.

2. Figma plus a designer: pixel-perfect control, $2,000-10,000, 1-2 weeks per project. Best for brand identity, rebrand, core product.

3. DIY in PowerPoint: hours of dragging boxes, output looks generic anyway. The fallback nobody wants.

4. Claude Design: reads your brand, builds the first draft in seconds, iterate by chat.

 

Winner is the tool that ships same-day output that looks like your brand made it.

 

For 80% of what solopreneurs actually ship (landing pages, pitch decks, prototypes, one-pagers), Claude Design is the answer.
