AI for Product Designers

Even though I couldn't be present on live sessions I went through all of them offline and am still catching up with guest talks, but I want to mention how detailed and elaborative Xinran's sessions were, loved the guest talks which give a big picture on how different teams make use of AI. I've already introduced cursor to my workflow and I utilize Claude and other tools with much more understanding of how to make most of their functionalities. Thanks Xinran for the amazing experience!

AI for Product Designers

AI for Product Designers course on Maven conducted by Xinran Ma is very useful for product designers at any stage in their career. With the abundance of AI softwares in the market, one can often find themselves being lost and overwhelmed. Xinran has designed this course such that one can learn the topics - prompting, efficient AI workflows, designing at scale, step by step and become more comfortable navigating the AI environment. Additionally the hands on workshops as part of this course gives one the confidence in using softwares like Claude, Cursor, Loveable, among others. Xinran extends his guidance beyond the coursework and is always very approachable for any design and learning questions.

I liked Xinran's approach throughout the course. He was very invested in us making the most of the course content and made the experience feel very personal and in depth, even though it is a cohort-experience. I personally appreciate his eagerness to create a community of learning by bringing guest speakers to tackle specific topics within the realm of AI. The role of the designer can be very unique, and he seems to understand this by presenting a wide range of resources and workflows for designers to feel more confident incorporating AI to their day to day.

Xinran presents challenging concepts in an engaging and friendly way. He is great at giving room for questions and conversations. This course—AI for Product Designers—was thoughtfully planned and really wonderful for any designers looking for AI inspiration, advice, and direct input from experts. Of particular interest to me was the real-world application of AI for product design. This was not a highlight reel of tutorials for generating your first marketing site. There was a lot of directly applicable and first-hand experience shared by Xinran and guest speakers from across the industry. This was also my first Maven course, and it was a wonderful step into continuing education at a pace that works for me. Thank you, Xinran!

AI for Product Designers

If you're a product designer trying to figure out where AI actually fits into your process, I'd highly recommend this course. Much of the AI content for designers is basically a tour of tools. What I found different here is the focus on the process around them: how to actually integrate AI into your workflow, when it's useful, and when it isn't. The recorded sessions were especially valuable because I got to see how different designers and teams are approaching AI in their actual projects. The live sessions and workshop let me test those ideas against my own work. Since the course, I've started building my own AI prototypes and writing custom skills around how I work, which I wasn't doing before. Xinran's support has also been a big part of the experience. He's still helping me after the course, working through a setup tailored to my current workflow. If you've been experimenting with AI tools but haven't quite turned that into a consistent way of working, this course helps you make that shift.
