For Designers

AI for Designers.

AI generates the mockups, the variations, the icons, and a whole screen from a prompt — producing pixels is getting cheap. What it cannot do is judge whether the result is actually good, structure the information, or decide what a real user needs. This is the designer’s home on Vibe Engines: honest guidance on using AI in the job, and the taste, systems thinking, and craft that become the moat when anyone can generate a UI.

What AI changes for designers

Producing UI gets cheap; taste, systems, and craft get more valuable. Point your time right.
