Agentic Era is here | 80% of Organizations Are Adapting to AI
Many designers struggle to keep up with the shift toward AI-native product design. Tools change quickly, expectations are unclear, and most learning resources feel too theoretical or too fragmented to apply in real work. Understanding AI is one thing. Designing real products with AI is another.
Even designers who experiment with AI often lack the structure and feedback needed to turn that work into strong, portfolio-ready case studies. Without guidance, it’s hard to know what matters and how to confidently present AI-driven work.
That’s what this 5-week cohort is designed to change.
You’ll follow a clear, end-to-end framework to design real AI-powered products, supported by live feedback, structured exercises, and a focused peer group. You’ll learn AI fundamentals, AI product thinking, designing with AI agents, AI-native prototyping, and rapid experimentation. The cohort concludes with a hackathon-style project where you apply everything you’ve learned.
Outcome: You leave with clarity, confidence, and real work that proves you can design in an AI-first world.
