Introduction

A product designer's guide to setting up a machine for designers. *Updated for macOS Tahoe*

This guide started as a way to set up a designer friendly vibe-coding environment based on my personal experience at GoDaddyarrow-up-right. It grew from a UI development setup used by designers at Sympharrow-up-right and Abstract Digitalarrow-up-right. Now I’m sharing it to help other design teams—and anyone who loves shipping digital products—move faster. 🚀

If you feel that:

  • You want a consistent dev environment for your design team ⚡

  • You’re a designer who wants simple instructions for setting up dev tools on your machine 💻

  • You’re a designer who wants a terminal setup that looks as good as it works 💪

Then this guide might be for you.

Feel free to use, share, or fork this guide. You do not need to follow it exactly. It reflects my personal workflow and tech stack, so adapt it to fit your own needs. 🦄✨
