From designer to AI-powered builder.

Coding designers used to be called unicorns. Now, working in code is becoming a baseline expectation, and AI is making it accessible.

Code is more than a path into frontend territory. It helps you test ideas with greater fidelity, gather sharper feedback, and move beyond static screens into functional, interactive experiences. It also lets you prototype with real data, APIs, voice, vision, and user context, opening up possibilities that Figma alone cannot support.

This intensive, hands-on course is designed for product designers. You’ll learn technical concepts through a designer’s lens, build practical projects, and receive personal feedback on your work.

You’ll cover:

• AI coding tools and when to use them
• Frontend foundations
• Design systems and portable design instructions, including DESIGN.md
• Motion, interaction, and third-party libraries
• Figma-to-code and code-to-Figma workflows
• AI-powered product features

The course is tool-agnostic and applies to Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Antigravity, Copilot, and other coding agents. Claude Code is used most often in demonstrations.

What you’ll learn

The technical vocabulary and depth designers need to build functional prototypes with agentic coding tools. No coding experience required.

How agentic coding fits into a professional design workflow
The AI coding landscape: v0, Claude Design, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Figma Make, Lovable. When to use what.
Prompting patterns for exploration, structured builds, and shipping product features

Claude Design, Google Stitch as a thinking tool for designers
The shift from Figma-first to natural-language-first ideation
Conversational design patterns: how to brief, when to redirect, when to start fresh

How modern frontends are structured: pages, components, composition, and why it matters for your work
AI freindly tech stack
Design tokens, themes, and reusable UI kits that hold up beyond a single prototype

Coding Agent + Figma MCP: back-and-forth between design and code
Responsive layouts, accessibility, and personalised experiences (theme, language, device, location)
Building with design systems and reusable components

Rules, skills, plugins, and DESIGN.md — make the agent work the way you do
GitHub workflows and a shared prototyping environment for collaboration
Debugging, refactoring, and reading your app in the browser

Third-party libraries, rich interactions, and animations
AI features wired via API: LLMs, image generation, voice, and vision
Native-app prototyping and user context

Testimonials

At Flatpay, we already use AI daily to boost research, strategy, writing, and design. Anna Arteeva's AI & UX workshop at our Copenhagen HQ helped us take things further. PMs, designers, and engineers sharpened our AI skills and explored new ground: getting more impact from the tools we already rely on; expanding into AI prototyping, building on our existing designs and design system to deliver higher-fidelity results faster; exploring new UX paradigms like non-deterministic and agentic experiences; and building a shared mindset on how AI will shape the way we create for our merchants. We're raising the bar on how we collaborate with each other—and with AI—to deliver even more impact. Highly recommended.

I’m getting so much out of this course!!! I can’t even tell you! I’m making so much! I’m somewhat of a course junky, and I’ve never had a course so instantly providing value and clarity. Over night I’ve become the vibe code expert at my company (and we’re only partway through the course!

I learnt way more than I expected to and it's really sparked my brain with all the different use cases that are naturally sitting within my HR ops foundations.
Amanda James
HR Director, Onboarding Operations at Remote
After Anna Arteeva's AI prototyping training, using Lovable for quick prototyping became a no brainer. Looking at Figma screens versus clicking through a live prototype now feels like looking at 2D blueprints of a 3D object versus holding the real model in your hands. The speed of trying changes and the depth of what you can prototype, frontend and backend together, is on a completely different level.
Danila Turuntaev
Group Product Manager at Remote
This course is close to a must-have if you want to stay current and in demand as a designer. The detailed tips and tricks Anna shares clearly come from longer practice and are things that are hard to catch up on quickly as a self-learner.
Judith S.
Digital Product & Experience Designer
Still blown away by the workshop. So much packed in (can't wait for the recording to rewatch, especially the second part covering design systems and database integration), almost everything made sense, and most importantly it no longer feels like some mystical thing only available to coding prodigies.
