Vibe-Driven Design: Real AI Tools You’ll Actually Use
Crafting "More than human" products with AI
Ever heard developers talk about “vibe coding”? It’s time we start “vibe designing.” In this session, Kevin (Director of Product) and Rachel (Lead Product Designer) from Velocity will show how they’ve been using AI tools inside Figma to move faster, test ideas quicker, and make better decisions. It’s a chill, no-jargon walkthrough of what actually works, what doesn’t, and how to bring AI into your day-to-day without overthinking it. Bring your questions — even the “stupid” ones.
Key Learning Outcomes

🧪 Test before you commit
See how AI can help you validate mockups with real users before you build, so you can avoid wasting time on stuff that doesn’t land.
🫰 Keep the human touch
Understand why design judgment and human testing are more important than ever — even when AI gives you 10 options in 2 seconds.
💼 Build your AI-ready toolkit
Walk away with a list of tools and workflows (plus some exclusive demo files) you can use today to design smarter and faster.
