Nad Chishtie - A new way to design and build with AI

Lovable has quickly become the go-to way I build my ideas with AI and this week we get to hear from their first designer Nad Chishtie.

We go deep into what it takes to succeed as a founding designer and all of the ways AI is shaping modern product teams.

Some highlights:

  • Nad’s tips for collaborating creatively with AI tools

  • How Nad balances Figma with new AI tools like Lovable
  • Why Lovable built and deleted a Figma-like layers panel
  • What it’s like at the fastest growing startup in European history
