DesignCode

DesignCode is the YouTube channel of Design+Code, a learning platform founded by the designer Meng To. The platform sells courses, templates and other resources, and the channel shares free tutorials.

The videos focus on designing and building apps and websites, now mostly with AI tools. Many are long screen recordings showing a full workflow, from writing prompts to producing a working interface. Topics include user interface design, animation, 3D web graphics and building apps with tools such as Figma, React and SwiftUI. Some titles are enthusiastic, but the tutorials themselves are detailed.

Some highlights include:

A full tutorial on creating 3D models in Blender by giving instructions to an AI assistant.

A long guide to using AI prompts to generate user interfaces, based on thousands of experiments.

A walkthrough of building 3D websites with the Three.js library and an AI coding assistant.

The channel has around 349,000 subscribers.

DesignCode shows where software development meets visual design. It connects to careers in user experience (UX) design, front-end development and product design. It also gives a practical view of how AI tools are changing the way apps are made. Viewers should keep in mind that the channel also promotes its own paid platform. The free videos still stand on their own and show a full working process. Students who try the techniques will quickly see that good results still depend on design judgement and an understanding of the code behind the interface.
