FOR PRODUCT DESIGNERS · NO AI EXPERIENCE NEEDED

Make yourideas real.

AI helps you give shape to your messy ideas: do the research, write the copy, explore ten directions in the time you'd have spent on one, and take the best all the way to a real, testable product. After this course, you'll know AI.

THE SHIFT

Move from designer to builder

For most of my career the hard part was getting an idea built. You needed engineers, and you needed time. I've watched teams spend three months in Figma without a single design reaching a customer.

That's gone. You bring the idea and the judgement, AI does the making, and you can take a product from first research all the way to something real and tested. The only limit left is your imagination, which was always the part that mattered.

01 WAYPOINT Where the journey starts

Every journey starts here

Before the first lesson we spend a free hour together, one to one, mapping where you are now and the path that fits you. You come away with a personal report, whether you go on to the course or not.

02 WAYPOINT What you'll make

Build one real product, end to end

You learn AI here by building something real. You bring one idea, anything from an app to a service, and take it from nothing to a tested product of your own. The whole route follows the Double Diamond you already know: find the right problem, decide what to build, build it, launch it. The ten lessons are the stops along the way.

03 WAYPOINT The stops on the way

Ten lessons across five stages

Following the Double Diamond you already know. Here's the shape of the journey, kept light. The full lesson list lives on the curriculum.

Get AI ready

Pre-flight

Brief AI well, set it up, and use it as a thinking partner.

Discover

Mission plan

Run structured research with AI and map the problem, the competition and the gaps.

Define

Trajectory

Turn research into a clear, testable definition and set your success metrics.

Designers go deepest here — the product thinking you get least practice at.

Develop

Build

Build working prototypes with AI, faster than you can now.

Deliver

Launch

Test with real users, measure the result, and get it live.

04 WAYPOINT At every stop

Your AI co-pilot, at every stop

A personalised AI set up just for you. After each session it emails you a branded deck in your own words, showing where you are, what you've cracked, and what to focus on next. It reflects back what you actually said, not what it thinks you want to hear.

WHO'S FLYING WITH YOU

Two guides, the whole way

Me

Thirty years designing products, alongside you at every stage. I review your work myself, and you've got me on WhatsApp throughout, so you're never stuck waiting.

Direct on WhatsApp

Your AI co-pilot

A personalised AI set up just for you. It tracks your build and emails a branded deck after every session, in your own words, so you always know where you are and what's next.

WHO IT'S FOR

Built for designers who want to build

If one of these sounds like you, you're cleared for take-off.

Designers who want to build

Product designers ready to be product builders, taking an idea all the way to a working product.

Tired of work that stalls

For anyone tired of good work stalling in a backlog, or in Figma, before a customer ever sees it.

New to AI? Perfect

Never touched AI, or dabbled and found it frustrating? We'll decode it together until you've mastered it.

TAUGHT BY SOMEONE WHO'S DONE THE JOB

I've spent 30 years designing products, in-house and on the tools, at Microsoft, Channel 4, Sainsbury's, NatWest and E.ON. For the last two years I've rebuilt the way I work around AI, on real 0-to-1 products. You're learning what I actually do, from someone still doing it.
