76: Embrace the Chaos—Design Operations in the age of AI (ft. Z)
Episode 76
Friday, 14 August, 2026

Peter and Jesse are joined by Chengying "Z" Zheng, who shares her experience migrating a design team to be AI-first — off Figma and into code. She discusses how design leadership and operations divide the work, what happens to roles and titles when everyone becomes a builder, and how to make good design easier than bad design.
