When I first heard that Cursor was “an AI code editor,” I assumed it wasn’t for me. I’m a designer, not a developer. But I tried it, and it changed the way I work. Here I’ll tell you exactly how I use it without writing code from scratch.

This is not a perfect case study. It’s a real one, with tough decisions, honest lessons, and a result that was measured in numbers. If you’re designing for a wellness app with demanding users, some of this will sound familiar.
