Vibe Coding and the Future of Work: How a Product Designer Turns Ideas Into Apps
Description
I sit with Jessica Campbell, product designer, creative technologist, and founder of Creative Currents, to talk about vibe coding, the future of work, and why this shift matters far beyond tech.
Jessica shares how she first stumbled into vibe coding by accident and why the real magic starts before you ever prompt. We get into design thinking, starter prompts, onboarding flows, version control, deployment, and what it really looks like to build as a non-technical creative in public.
I also talk about the bigger picture: how AI is changing the barrier to entry for building digital products, why more people are creating niche tools for their communities, and how vibe coding is opening the door for founders, creators, and curious builders.
🔥 Topics We Cover:
- Why the future of work is not just about automation, but reinvention, experimentation, and people learning to buildÂ
- What vibe coding actually is and why it matters right now
- Â Why pre-work matters before vibe coding, including writing, research, mood boards, competitive analysis, and human-first thinking
- What design thinking means in simple terms and how it helps people build better, more niche products
- Â How Jessica built Vibe Studio to help people bridge the gap between idea and execution
- What she learned from vibe coding 30 apps in 30 days
- Why version control, deployment, hosting, domains, and publishing are often skipped over in vibe coding conversations
