Build and Launch Your App in 12 Weeks
Nick McInnis
Senior UX Designer & Course Creator
Most people with an app idea never ship it.
Not because the idea is bad. Because the gap between "I have an idea" and "here's the link" used to require a team, a budget, and a year.
That gap just closed.
AI tooling now lets one person design, build, and launch a real product. The hard part isn't writing code anymore. It's knowing what to build, how to structure it, and how to make it feel like something people actually want to use.
That's what this course teaches.
Over 12 weeks you take one idea from rough concept to a live, working app. No coding background required. You'll learn the design thinking behind products people return to, the AI workflow that turns that thinking into a real build, and the launch strategy that puts it in front of users.
You leave with:
A working app
A design system
A landing page
A launch strategy
An alumni Discord with ongoing workshops
This isn't a course you watch. It's a build you finish.
Bring your questions. Bring your idea.

Who this course is for
You have an app idea you can't stop thinking about. You've sketched it, described it to friends, maybe started twice. It's still not real.
You're a founder who needs an MVP, not a pitch deck. You want something live that users can touch, without hiring a dev team to get there.
You're building new skills for what's next. Designer, marketer, PM, career-changer. You want AI-assisted product work in your toolkit.
