Design Class

import UIKit

class UpdateNoteDesignView: UIView {
    
    let notesUpdateTitle = UITextField()
    let notesUpdateContent = UITextView()

    override init(frame: CGRect) {
        super.init(frame: frame)
        commonInit()
    }
    
    required init?(coder: NSCoder) {
        fatalError("init(coder:) has not been implemented")
    }
    
    func commonInit() {
        let updateStack = UIStackView()
        updateStack.axis = .vertical
        updateStack.alignment = .top
        updateStack.distribution = .fill
        updateStack.spacing = 5
        
        notesUpdateTitle.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
        notesUpdateContent.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
        
        notesUpdateTitle.widthAnchor.constraint(greaterThanOrEqualToConstant: 150).isActive = true
        notesUpdateContent.widthAnchor.constraint(greaterThanOrEqualToConstant: 300).isActive = true

        notesUpdateTitle.heightAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 30).isActive = true
        notesUpdateContent.heightAnchor.constraint(greaterThanOrEqualToConstant: 300).isActive = true
        notesUpdateTitle.font = UIFont(name: "Arial", size: 30)
        notesUpdateContent.font = UIFont(name: "Arial", size: 30)
  
        
        notesUpdateContent.layer.cornerRadius = 5
        notesUpdateContent.layer.borderWidth = 2
        
        notesUpdateTitle.layer.borderWidth = 2
        notesUpdateTitle.layer.cornerRadius = 5
        
        updateStack.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
        updateStack.addArrangedSubview(notesUpdateTitle)
        updateStack.addArrangedSubview(notesUpdateContent)
        addSubview(updateStack)
      
            
        updateStack.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: safeAreaLayoutGuide.topAnchor, constant: 20).isActive = true
        updateStack.leadingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.leadingAnchor, constant: 20).isActive = true
        
        
        
    }
    
}

Controller Class

import UIKit

class UpdateNotesController: UIViewController {
    
    let updateDesign = UpdateNoteDesignView()
    var note: Note?
    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        view.backgroundColor = UIColor.white
        view.addSubview(updateDesign)
       
        
        updateDesign.notesUpdateTitle.text = note?.title
        updateDesign.notesUpdateContent.text = note?.contents
    }
    
    
 
}

Here, the issue is that frame is not set for your view. Try to add background color to UpdateNoteDesignView. You will not able to see it.

Please add frame/constraint for UpdateNoteDesignView as shown here and make changes according to your requirement.

    class ViewController: UIViewController {
    
    var updateDesign: UpdateNoteDesignView!
    
    //       var note: Note?
    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        updateDesign = UpdateNoteDesignView()//frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 200, height: 260))
        view.backgroundColor = UIColor.white
        view.addSubview(updateDesign)
        
        updateDesign.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
        updateDesign.heightAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 450).isActive = true
        updateDesign.widthAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 350).isActive = true
        updateDesign.centerYAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.view.centerYAnchor).isActive = true
        updateDesign.centerXAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.view.centerXAnchor).isActive = true
        
        updateDesign.notesUpdateTitle.text = "Stack overflow"
        updateDesign.notesUpdateContent.text = "Developer"
        
    }
}
