Coding designers used to be called unicorns. Now, working in code is becoming a baseline expectation, and AI is making it accessible.Code is more than a path into frontend territory. It helps you test ideas with greater fidelity, gather sharper feedback, and move beyond static screens into functional, interactive experiences. It also lets you prototype with real data, APIs, voice, vision, and user context, opening up possibilities that Figma alone cannot support.This intensive, hands-on course is designed for product designers. You’ll learn technical concepts through a designer’s lens, build practical projects, and receive personal feedback on your work.You’ll cover:• AI coding tools and when to use them • Frontend foundations • Design systems and portable design instructions, including DESIGN.md • Motion, interaction, and third-party libraries • Figma-to-code and code-to-Figma workflows • AI-powered product featuresThe course is tool-agnostic and applies to Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Antigravity, Copilot, and other coding agents. Claude Code is used most often in demonstrations.

From designer to AI-powered builder.

Making software is supposed to be fun! And this six weeks is packed with the most fun I’ve had in my 15-year teaching career.LLM-assisted coding tools can put you in the driver’s seat, working with the real materials of your craft. I’m seeing designers do things I didn’t think I’d ever get to see designers do.For as long as I can remember, product designers have been pushed away from code. Most designers settled this question for themselves long ago—code is not for me. Now is a great time to reconsider that decision. You can have a relationship with real software without spending years mastering syntax.Working on a design with code is an act of shaping, working with raw materials. And as you shape it, you can actually interact with it, get the feel of it. This means you can work on a user interface the way it really works.As designers, we enjoy making things. Working with code is a fantastic opportunity to feel connected to the thing you’re making.Read on to find out more about the course, but keep in mind that the most important things that happen in my classroom <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://buttonschool.com/classroom/">have nothing to do with the syllabus</a>.NEW: Try out a <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://learn.buttonschool.com/signup?redirect=/aic/&amp;utm_source=maven&amp;utm_medium=landing-page&amp;utm_campaign=aic-preview">free preview</a> of the course materials.
