What you'll learn

Build an AI skill chain across the full design process

Why designing your AI workflow is itself a design problem

How AI scales designer thinking without replacing judgment

Why this topic matters

Most designers use AI as isolated one-off tools. This talk shows how to wire individual capabilities into a connected system—research synthesis, brief creation, hi-fi prototyping, Figma handoff—where each output feeds the next. The result: 2+ weeks of work in 2–3 days, with human judgment at every checkpoint.

Beijuan Miao

Staff Product Designer at LinkedIn

Beijuan Miao is a Staff Product Designer at LinkedIn with 9+ years designing consumer and enterprise products. After a neck injury forced her to rethink how she worked, she reimagined her design process from scratch—encoding her methodology into a suite of custom Claude Code skills that chain together across the full double-diamond process. Her experiments, shared publicly on LinkedIn, have sparked wide conversations about how designers can systematize AI rather than just adopt it. She believes the next frontier for designers isn't better tools—it's better systems.
