💻"Designers don’t need to code."
...but is that advice still true today?
In this episode, Tyler White and Nick Groeneveld unpack why the designer role is evolving fast—and why the next generation of designers will need more than just Figma skills to stay relevant.
We’re breaking down:
✅ Why polished prototypes now speak louder than polished decks.
✅ How AI is reshaping prototyping—and why it’s a tool, not a threat.
✅ The real reason coding is becoming a must-have for freelancers and startup designers.
✅ How to build trust with developers (and why it matters more than ever).
✅ Why empathy isn’t just for users—it’s the secret weapon for cross-team collaboration.
✅ How posting on LinkedIn can build visibility and career resilience.
If you’re feeling the pressure to level up—or wondering how to stand out as AI and automation shift the game—this episode will help you future-proof your career.
