AI Prototyping for Product Designers
Anna Arteeva
a product design leader and AI educator
Vibe-code polished prototypes, complex flow and hand-over code instead of mocks
Designers who code used to be called “unicorns”. Now it is quietly becoming the baseline. The good news is that AI and modern tooling make this much more accessible than it used to be.
Built specifically for designers, this intensive course blends practical frameworks, hands on exercises and personal feedback. Technical concepts are introduced from a designer’s point of view, with designers’ goals in mind.
We focus on the parts of product work that actually ship: clean layouts, design systems, reusable components, real navigation and non trivial flows. Vibe-coding and AI tools help you work directly in code with function and data instead of stopping at static mockups.
After completing this course, you will be able to turn your designs into working web apps that match your visual language with precision.
What you’ll buildA functional web app, styled to match a brand and using design-system components.
Features, components and interactions using third-party libraries.
User flows with non-trivial logic and dynamic data.
At least two AI-powered features (LLM, voice, or diffusion) wired via API keys, prompts, and guardrails.
Collaborate and handover via GitHub.
❤️ Lovable Pro is included!
What you’ll learn
You’ll prototype the experiences you already design, and expand into new dimensions: real functionality and data, AI models, new interaction

Testimonials
The workshop was very well structured and covered all the essential concepts I needed to start my own project—such as different vibe coding tools, frontend frameworks, database connections, and deployment. Anna really understands designers' concerns, like Figma integration and design systems. After the workshop, I felt supercharged and inspired to start building my own project!"

Senior Product Designer | SaaS & B2BAt 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.

Director, Product Strategy & UX @ FlatpayIt will save you a crazy amount time. I was giving little and shy steps into this huge AI ocean and with this course, I could easily understand how to design, refine and generate interactive prototypes (including database integrations) - it's not a scary monster after all
Gualter A.
Product Designer at OLXThis 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 DesignerPerfect balance of intensive content with helpful tutorials we can revisit later and practice after the course. We learned how to build both frontend and backend, connect to databases, and work with real data - not just static prototypes but ones that actually store and use the information users enter. Even explained coding terminology in a way that made sense to us non-developers.
Florencia W.
Senior UX DesignerStill 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.
