MEET RYAN
Designing.

Making it useful.
Ryan Day is a designer, educator, and the founder of Day With Friends. He previously worked as a Senior UX Designer at Tesla and Apple and now teaches user experience design at Utah Tech University.
He has taught AI-assisted design at the master’s level. With Day With Friends, he brings that teaching approach to practical tools you can use on your own, at your own pace.
Vibe Coding 101 gives you a sequence to follow: clarify your idea in ChatGPT or Claude, approve a short brief, hand it to a coding tool, and try a small first version with someone who might use it.
Bentley University featured Ryan’s path into user experience and his design work at Tesla in Getting Comfortable with Change. His graduate education focused on Human Factors in Information Design: understanding people, asking useful questions, and making thoughtful design decisions.
You do not need to share your idea with Ryan or Day With Friends. The kit gives you questions, examples, and tools to work through the decisions yourself.
