What you'll get

Tool training isn't enough. Build outcomes that get you hired.

Basic Figma knowledge required. We focus on product process, not tool training.

Work on real challenges from AI tech startups

Real problems, real founders, real stakes, not another redesign of a fake app or problem.

Learn to move fast and deliver impact.

No endless discovery phases, just a focused 2 week sprint that teach you how modern product teams actually work.

Master AI as your co-designer.

Learn to work with AI and design for the new UX–AI patterns shaping real products, skills that outlast any single tool.

Build work that gets you hired.

Real impact for real companies beats fake case studies every time.

Hear what employers actually want.

Fireside chats from founders, PMs, and product teams about what makes designers stand out.

Connect with driven designers worldwide.

No egos, just ambitious designers who grow and build real careers together.

Beyond the sprint, here’s what you unlock:

Resources → Your permanent toolkit

Templates, prompts, and a digital AI × UX e-book you’ll use long after the sprint.

A network that pays off

Meet designers, PMs, and founders. Connections that turn into opportunities.

Founder status perks

Founding cohort members get lifetime recognition in our community and priority for future sprints.

📆 Mark your calendars

Two weeks that simulate the pace of real startups.

Week 1

Get the real brief from AI startup founders. Learn to ask the right questions, research efficiently, and use AI to speed up ideation. Master not just faster workflows, but the deeper craft of designing for AI-driven experiences.

Week 2

Build and test fast. Create prototypes that prove (or disprove) your ideas quickly using our guided process that teaches you what to focus on and why.

End of month

Learn from the best projects. We'll select standout work to share with the founder, then bring in industry leaders (founders, PMs, devs, researchers) for fireside chats about what makes design work effective and what they look for when hiring.

How it works

Two parts, one outcome: real experience that gets you noticed.

Theory Modules

Async, at your own pace. Learn the frameworks, AI-UX patterns, and product principles that prepare you for the sprint. Complete these modules whenever it works for you.

Sprint Module

2 weeks, October 13–27. Put your theory into action with a live brief from our pilot AI startup. You'll move through each sprint phase on your own schedule, but everything wraps up by October 27th, when we'll submit the top work directly to the founders.
