What you’ll get out of this course

Embrace the philosophy that more iterations lead to better outcomes than perfect first attempts

Launch 3-5 prototype iterations in the time it normally takes to build one, using AI to accelerate feedback cycles and improve your product through rapid testing.

Master the integration of design thinking with AI prototyping tools

Reduce the time from customer insight to testable concept from weeks to hours by leveraging AI to analyze feedback and generate prototype variations automatically.

Build multiple no-code prototype iterations in a fraction of traditional development time

Create functional prototypes in under 3 hours without writing a single line of code, producing high-fidelity mockups and interactive demos that would typically require technical resources and weeks of work.

Gain practical experience in real-world testing and feedback collection

Design lightweight experiments that generate actionable data within 48 hours using automated feedback systems that prioritize the most important user responses.

Develop a validated prototype ready for market testing

Complete the course with a market-tested prototype backed by real user data and metrics, positioned for either funding conversations or continued development.

        It is not very often we find somebody so special and competent in teaching and transferring knowledge. Not only does Thu has that natural talent in her, she also genuinely wants you to learn and grow. The best use of my time.

        Studying with Thu felt like one of my more collaborative educational experiences. Thu was also adept at catering her instruction to the mixed levels of experience across my cohort, making it easier for us to identify where we could help either fill gaps for each other or seize opportunities for growth. I can’t recommend learning from Thu enough!
Marc Burnett

Senior Product Designer / Gusto
        Thu is kind and challenging. She focuses on enabling her students to demonstrate their learnings rather than parroting theory. As such, she combines "learn by doing" with more traditional lecture methodologies. She is an effective instructor because she herself is constantly learning. Thu is at the forefront of new industry trends, especially AI.
