Educational series on integrating AI into design workflows.
Developed and taught a curriculum helping UX designers embrace AI. Shifted the narrative from 'AI will replace us' to 'AI is a superpower'.

Many designers feel threatened by AI or unsure how to implement it practically. Existing resources were either too technical (for engineers) or too high-level (fluff).
The goal was to create a practical, hands-on curriculum that showed designers exactly how to use AI to improve their specific daily tasks.
I designed a workshop series focusing on the "Double Diamond" design process. We covered:
1. Discovery: Using AI to synthesize user research.
2. Definition: AI-assisted problem statements and personas.
3. Ideation: Collaborative brainstorming with LLMs.
4. Delivery: Generative design tools for rapid prototyping.
- High attendee satisfaction scores and positive feedback on practical utility.
- Empowered designers to reduce rote work and focus on strategic thinking.
- Established a framework for "AI-Augmented Design" that is now taught at Treehouse.
