How to Say "designing" in Spanish
The Spanish word for “designing” is “planeando” — A2 level. This is a very common word in everyday Spanish.
Examples

¿Qué estás planeando hacer este fin de semana?

Using the Gerund
The '-ando' ending tells you the action is currently happening or ongoing. You usually use it right after a form of the verb 'estar' (to be): 'Estamos planeando' means 'We are planning'.
Confusing 'Planear' and 'Hacer planes'
Mistake: “Using 'hacer planeando' to mean 'doing planning'.”
Correction: Use 'planear' directly, or use the noun form: 'Estamos haciendo planes' (We are making plans) or 'Estamos planeando' (We are planning).
