#117 Vibe Coding: When AI Turns Your Ideas into Code

Author: Patricia Reiners July 25, 2025 Duration: 16:17

We’re back from the summer break — and kicking off this season with one of the most exciting shifts happening at the intersection of design and development: vibe coding.

In this episode, I’m breaking down what vibe coding actually is, why it’s relevant for designers (not just developers), and how it’s changing the way we build digital products. You’ll hear about the tools that make it possible, how to get started even without a tech background, and what this trend could mean for your future workflows.

Whether you’ve never written a line of code or you’re deep into AI prototyping already — this episode will give you fresh inspiration and practical insights to explore this new, playful way of working with AI.

✅ Key Learnings:

  • What vibe coding means and where the concept comes from
  • How AI tools are transforming the development process
  • Step-by-step: how to try vibe coding even without coding experience
  • Why vibe coding is relevant for designers and how it impacts collaboration
  • The best tools to experiment with depending on your level of control and comfort
