About this talk

This talk discusses how ‘vibe-coding‘ is the future for becoming a well-rounded designer in the age of A.I.

Designers can use creative coding and AI not for full-stack perfection, but for rapid prototyping, aesthetic intuition, and exploring the limits of your design ideas. Rather than being T-shaped, designers can now be polymaths-specialisits in several areas.

Learn how embracing a developer mindset and using AI as a creative partner can help you:

• Elevate your prototypes with nuanced, interactive, and custom-coded components.
• Future-proof your skillset by becoming a polymath with multiple valuable skillsets for your team.
• Use AI to write code for everything from custom UI elements to your own Figma and browser plugins.
• Reduce product churn by testing and communicating complex interaction ideas more effectively with your team.
