Then he realized: he was one designer among 50. No ownership. No real impact. So he jumped into startups — and now he's designing AI-powered video tools at VEED.io that you literally cannot prototype in Figma.\nWhat this episode is about\n\nThis is Love At First Try — a podcast about building SaaS products people actually love.\nI sat down with Lewis Dingley, Senior Product Designer at VEED.io — the AI-powered video editor that's making video creation accessible to everyone.\nLewis has a wild background. Design school in France. Vehicle dashboards at Renault. TV products at Sky. Physical products at Dyson. And now — AI video tools at VEED.\nWhat made me want to talk to him: VEED is building generative AI features you simply cannot design in Figma. Text-to-video. AI avatars. Image-to-video editing. Real AI models doing real things.\nSo how do you design for that? Lewis vibe codes. He prototypes with real APIs. He rebuilt an entire product in a day using Google AI Studio.\nIf you're designing AI-powered products (or thinking about it), this one's for you.\n🧠 What you'll learn in this episode:\n\n0:00 - Lewis's journey from French design school to Renault, Sky, Dyson, and VEED\n5:22 - Why he left big corporations for startups and what changed\n10:45 - Why product designers need to be closer to leadership\n15:26 - Vibe coding: how Lewis rebuilt VEED's text-to-video product in one day\n18:13 - Google AI Studio vs Lovable — which is actually useful for prototyping\n21:04 - Why you should always present prototypes, never static screens\n26:44 - The trick to making AI tools understand your design system\n29:15 - How VEED's AI Playground integrates 30+ image and video models\n34:00 - Why Kling's new model made months of their work obsolete overnight\n36:29 - The biggest barrier for users is starting from scratch\n44:01 - VEED's AI agent that nobody used and what it taught them\n50:18 - Why education can't keep...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/CalfqiGBPL_RhmXPTA6aQSk59NwzAYGpNJ6fyshYlL8/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9mMGM3/MjgxYTFlZTJiN2U0/NDFlYWNiYWY0MWUw/ZWVjNC5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
