Vibe-code functional apps with design systems, real data and AI-powered logic.
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!

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.

Director, Product Strategy & UX @ FlatpayI’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!

Senior Interaction Designer at FrogI 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 RemoteAfter 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 RemoteThis 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 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.
