What you'll learn

How AI is changing the design process

How research, ideation, and iteration evolve when AI is part of your workflow, and which skills start to matter more.

How to design AI products well

AI experiences aren’t linear. Use a practical framework to handle variability and design for unpredictable outcomes.

How to work with Claude Design

Live walkthrough of an AI design tool: see its strengths, where judgment matters, and how to shape intentional results.

Why this topic matters

Most designers are already using AI in some form. But using AI as a shortcut is different from designing with it well. This session takes a practical look at what that shift requires, from how your process changes to what it means to design products that behave differently every time. If you want to work with AI more deliberately and produce better outcomes because of it, this is where to start.
