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.
