Product design workflows are changing fast and nobody has a clean answer for what to do about it.
In our first ever live episode, Tyler (in-house at a fintech SaaS company) and Nick (freelance product designer working with clients across the world) get honest about what modern design actually looks like right now.
Neither of us have touched a wireframe in months. We talked about why. And then we get a comment from a live viewer that made us thinking again about our choices.
What we cover in this episode:
🔸 Why wireframing is disappearing and what is replacing it
🔸 The real difference between in-house AI pressure and the freelance reality
🔸 Tool fatigue: when does adding new tools actually make you slower?
🔸 Nick’s minimalist stack (Figma + Claude, nothing else) vs Tyler’s workflow (ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, GitHub)
🔸 How design thinking holds up when clients have no patience for the process
🔸 AI changing the speed of design without changing the hard part
🔸 Whether it is still actually fun to be a designer right now
This was our first live episode. Thirty comments, four reposts, and a lot of real questions answered in real time.
