Design faster. Think sharper. Let AI handle the grunt work.
Start 2026 with a new kind of superpower: knowing how to work with AI like a design teammate, not just a new tool.
In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to use AI as your practical UX co-designer. From generating personas to structuring flows and sparking early design concepts, you’ll see how smart prompting can help you move faster, unblock ideas, and focus your energy where human insight matters most.
You’ll also get exposure to a range of prototyping tools like Figma Make, Replit, Stitch, and others, so you can see how prompting fits into real-world UX workflows from idea to prototype.
Led by Elizabete Staerfeldt, a UX & Service Designer with 10+ years of experience working with Fortune 500 and global teams, you’ll learn the methods she uses to integrate AI into high-stakes product and service design.
