****
Many design professionals are still using Ai tactically: faster drafts, generic automations, 10x isolated tasks.
Useful?
Yes.
Transformational?
No.
People excelling with Ai have turned a corner. They’ve stopped treating a non-industrial medium like an industrial tool.
Instead of laboring to automate the workflows of yesterday, they're re-imagining what’s possible today.
This series is about providing you with the skills to make this transformative leap into the future of Ai-assisted design and creative critical thinking.
We’ll build Ai design workflows with Ai tool chains to move through a guided context-to-concept framework to create your own Ai-fueled project.
You'll learn Ai foundations & advanced behavioral design techniques that elevate your design toolkit, creative productivity, & cognitive speed.
Ai makes truly human-centered design & productivity possible for the first time.
And the human at the center is you.
What you’ll learn
**This course will feature at least 2 guest speakers who are making significant use of Ai in studio & corporate design roles.**
Develop a step-by-step process chain from context to concept.
Connect LLMs, research tools, and builders into one guided flow.

Who this course is for
Design Leaders & Directors looking to integrate AI strategically, expand team capability, and build defensible workflows.
Individual Designers & Researchers who want to level up their AI fluency, create standout portfolio work, and design smarter.

Prerequisites
You do not need to be a designer, UX researcher, or Ai savant.
Many students are just starting out with Ai or are non-design professionals. The workshops are structured to benefit & engage all levels.
Ai tool subscriptions.
See the Course syllabus, "Tools Information", for all of the detailed information on featured tools and tool subscriptions needed.
An open mind, patience, curiosity, and a willingness to explore.
No matter the role, these are the traits that I have seen in people who quickly bend Ai to their will and noticeably expand their skillsets.
What's included
Live sessions
Learn directly from Greg Aper in a real-time, interactive format.
A multi-level FigJam board packed with high-value, future-proofing resources.
The multi-level FigJam board that you take home is not only our interactive, educational playground for the workshops, it is also packed with 3 years of Ai explorations, project examples, prompt libraries, advanced techniques, articles, pro-tips, and step-by-step instructions for creating collaborator agents.
Significant extra learnings created by the interactive, small group setting.
Groups are typically capped at 10 - 12, enabling real-time interaction with the instructor & cohort mates. Students learn significantly more in this setting because they are exposed to many more unique situations, outcomes and challenges that do not take place in larger group settings. Past cohorts often maintain contact with each other.
Free access to updated FigJam boards after the course has finished.
The value doesn't stop when the course is done. Cohort participants receive free access to FigJam boards when new versions are released with updated examples, techniques, and resources.
Workshop recordings.
Recordings of each workshop are sent out to students after being compressed, typically within an hour or so of workshop end.
Maven Guarantee
This course is backed by the Maven Guarantee. Students are eligible for a full refund up until the halfway point of the course.
