Vibe, Trust & Creative Intelligence

AI hasn't replaced designers—it has commoditized their output. Wireframes, layouts, and UI variations are no longer scarce. Judgment is. When you can try ten versions in a day, knowing which version is closer to the feeling is the only skill that matters.
This advanced cohort is for mid-to-senior UX designers, product leaders, and technologists ready to move from doer to steward—from crafting interfaces to architecting systems of trust. Led by Jason Cranford Teague—creator of the 5Ds process and the Vibe Design framework, and a design leader who set clarity and trust standards at WebMD—you'll learn to treat AI as what it actually is: not a junior version of you, but an alien intelligence. One that can execute brilliantly but cannot define the actor, draw the mental model, or write the feeling brief. That work is yours—and this course teaches you to do it so well that AI makes you faster without making your work generic.
The principles are technology-agnostic: they hold across conversational, generative, predictive, and embedded AI, and they'll still hold when the tool landscape shifts next quarter.

Setting purpose, boundaries, and guardrails—so AI stays a co-pilot, not a pilot, no matter which technology is under the hood
