Designer pivots to vibe coding: $1,500 deal in one night, months-long projects now days
Tegadesigns · x · 2026-10-27
Designer Tegadesigns reflects on the past year: after vibe coding arrived, panic replaced the "thank you, Figma" era. He chose to learn by building — payment screenshots show individual payouts from $290 to $11,293, a $1,500 deal closed tonight, and a £1,500 project meeting this week.
His take: projects that once took months now ship in days with AI, but clients pay for your skills, ideas, and problem-solving — AI just speeds up execution. Designers in 2026 can deliver full apps, websites, AI videos, and 3D experiences instead of just Figma screens. His advice: start before you feel ready.
