In the first episode of the new Growthmates season - The Creator’s Path , Kate Syuma sits down with Nad Chishtie - Head of Design at Lovable, founding designer, and former game developer who has built products used by over 50 million people across Asia. Nad shares his unconventional path - from dropping out of university during the early days of Gmail, to building games, products, and AI-powered tools that lower the barrier to creation. They discuss why rigid systems don’t work for curious builders, how being a generalist became an advantage, and why perfectionism holds creators back. This conversation explores AI as a creative playground, not just a productivity tool - and what the future of digital creation looks like when anyone can build without permission.
