Claude Code for Designers

Greg Aper

Design x AI Expert | Educator | Speaker

Shaping Claude Code & building agents for how you work, think, & design

Claude Code changes what is possible for designers and creatives.

Claude Code helps you transform your conceptual, half-formed, abstract ideas into things. Lots of things.

New, bespoke things that you could never create before.

In minutes.

It gives you the time to explore the tangents and the variants and the what-ifs you never had time to explore before.

In Claude Code for Designers, you’ll learn how to use Claude Code to elevate your productivity, creativity, and design skillset. We’ll teach you how to shape it to fit the way you work, think, and design.

You’ll create your own Claude Code agent that aligns with your personality, goals, and tasks. We’ll show you how to build your agent with a foundational architecture that evolves with you and connects with new tools.

And what course on Claude Code agents would be complete without its own Claude Code agent?

A Claude Code creative builder agent, Max, will be helping out as a 24/7 learning resource in our course Slack channel. A FigJam board packed with course materials and bonus AI resources is also yours to take home with you.

Working with Claude Code is simple.

No code required.

What you’ll learn

What you'll learn in this course:

  • Build a working agent during the workshops, demo it, show it off, and start using it immediately.

  • Invest in an agent that learns and evolves with you instead of temporary solutions that deprecate as soon as you start using them.

  • Leave with a Claude Code agent that you can start working with immediately.

  • Be you. Think aloud. Get messy. Write novels. Text messages. You shape it, then Claude Code can take it.

  • Choose your own comfort level with code. See none of it, or learn as you go. You set the line and you can move it at any time.

  • Work in the places you already work. Stick with the tools you already know. The terminal stays as far away as you want it to.

  • Set up Claude Code around how you personally think and work to reduce interaction friction while increasing comfort and productivity.

  • Learn the feature levers: what you can adjust, what each one changes, and how to tune them as you go.

  • Customize it for your specific professional needs, goals, and challenges.

  • Understand Claude Code's basic mechanics and memory architecture, and why they're fundamentally different from Claude Chat.

  • Learn what it does well and what it doesn't, and how to have it help teach you as you go without bogging down creative momentum.

  • Get familiar with the features and options that matter for designers, and skip irrelevant ones that just add noise.

  • Set expectations that match what Claude Code is actually good at so you can stop cussing at your screen.

  • Learn to how to correctly interpret the responses: what to trust, what to question, and when fine-tuning is called for.

  • Clearly understand what it needs from you to be at its best and maximize interaction efficiency.

  • Talk about Claude Code clearly and accurately, whether it's with a client, in an interview, or on your own CV.

  • Learn best practices without gaining the scars you'd accumulate discovering them on your own the hard way.

  • Pick up pro tips that let you build agent skills and workflows that catapult you ahead of the curve.
