Your competition is already using AI (and you're not)

In partnership with

The design industry is facing its most significant disruption since the advent of the digital.

I've spent the last year watching designers fall into two distinct camps:
Those frantically trying to ignore the impact of AI on our craft... And those quietly leveraging it to produce work that makes the rest of us look obsolete.

There's no middle ground anymore.
The gap between these two groups widens every week.

Three months ago, I had a chat with a UX hiring manager who confessed something troubling: We're not even looking at portfolios without AI integration anymore.

This isn't some distant future threat.

It's happening now, silently reshaping our industry while most designers are still debating whether to care.

But here's what fascinates me:

The designers thriving with AI aren't the ones with the most technical knowledge.

They're the ones who've developed a specific approach to collaboration with these tools treating AI as an extension of their creative process rather than a replacement for it.

I've distilled this approach into a framework that any designer can apply, regardless of their technical background.

I just completed a full UX project in 5 days that would normally take 3+ weeks:

  • Complete competitive analysis (2 hours vs. 2 days)

  • User research analysis with data-driven personas (4 hours vs. 1 week)

  • Design concept and user flows (1 day vs. 1 week)

  • Working prototype tested with real users (1 day vs. 1-2 weeks)

Same quality.

Dramatically compressed timeline.

The difference isn't the tools.

It's the methodology.

The most valuable realization?
AI isn't replacing design thinking – it's amplifying it.

From June 23-27, I'm hosting a 5-Day AI/UX Design Challenge, where I'll teach you exactly how I did it.

You'll complete a full UX project from research to validated prototype in 5 days.

Not theory.
Not overviews.
Real work.
Real deliverables.
Real transformation.

Early bird pricing ends June 30th.
After that, it goes from $99 to $197.

The question isn't whether AI will transform UX design.

The question is whether you'll lead the transformation or watch from the sidelines.

Talk tomorrow,
