​The New Designer Role & Process with AI

​Workshop 3 of 6 — AI for Designers Series

​We’ve been doing some research on how AI is transforming design processes today.

​What we’ve learned so far is that it looks different for every designer.

​There is no one “right” way to embed AI into your workflow. This workshop will facilitate discussions about what’s amplifying your abilities and what isn’t through concrete examples and design process mapping.

​Together, we will build an artifact on FigJam: a collective snapshot of the state of AI in design today.

​We’ll publish what we find after the workshop!

​What you'll walk away with

• ​A clear, concrete view of how other designers are using AI in their workflows

• ​Steps to amplify your strengths as a designer when using AI

• ​A shared map of designers' workflows with AI

​Who this is for

• ​Designers wondering how much of the process they trained on is still relevant

• ​Design leaders trying to figure out how AI fits into their team's workflow

• ​Anyone who's been working this out alone and wants to compare notes

​AI for Designers
From understanding it
to building with it.

​6 workshops · Hands-on · Open to all designers

​

​The tools are changing. The role is shifting. And most of us are figuring it out in real time.

This isn't a lecture series about what AI might do to design. It's a hands-on experience where you learn by doing—writing prompts, building prototypes, creating portfolios, and eventually shipping something you made with AI from scratch.

Whether you've never opened an AI tool or you're already experimenting, there's a place for you here.

​

​What you'll walk away with

• ​A working AI toolkit for your daily design practice

• ​Prompt-writing skills you built yourself, not copied

• ​An AI-generated portfolio piece or case study

• ​Something you actually shipped with AI

• ​A clearer sense of where your career is headed

• ​A community of designers on the same journey
