Hello 🎅

This is the second-to-last newsletter of the year. Next week I'll send my annual year in review—and there's a pretty big announcement coming with it. More on that soon.

For now, something practical.

Martijn asked a great question in the Slack community the other week: how do I actually vibe code my website? What tools do I use? How skilled am I with code? Have I hit walls I couldn't solve?

I realized I'd never documented my process, so I wrote it up:

→ Vibe coding for designers: my actual process​

The short version: start in Figma, not in a prompt. AI is a builder, not an architect.

If you're still looking for a gift for someone on your design team—or anyone who cares about building products people actually want—my book might fit the bill. It's available as a paperback on Amazon or as a digital download for that very last minute gift.

Talk soon, Anton
