A podcast about design and product—what it takes to create great experiences, and what happens when critical details are ignored, overlooked, or misunderstood.
Season 3 is here with new co-host Lily. This episode tackles a question every designer should sit with: are you mastering your craft, or just mastering your tools?
They dig into why "Figma" isn't a skill, designers vibe coding their own tools, and what a pro photographer with a Barbie camera teaches about fundamentals. Plus: why cross-platform handoffs are still broken, what AI agent demos conveniently skip, and the Ferrari Luce debate, where brand legacy meets bold new design.
