FOR TEAMS · DESIGNING WITH AI

Turn your A teaminto an A+ team.

One shared way of working with AI, built by doing real product work.

Design is about delivering solutions to problems nobody else thought of, not drawing rectangles or following patterns, through communication, craft and judgement. Up to now, your team's bottleneck has been a lack of diverse skills and ever-closing timelines, often causing you to ship the first solution to a problem. AI changes that. It plugs the gaps in your team's capability and frees them to chase higher-value ideas they previously discarded. This course teaches your team to use AI to augment their skills and push their ideas further than ever before.

THE PROBLEM THIS SOLVES

Most AI training is passive and focused on tools. I focus on people and outcomes, so your team learns how to work differently and deliver better results together.

Your team has sat through webinars and read the threads. They've dabbled with AI, but that's not the same as using it in a team under pressure to deliver. I focus on how you can operationalise AI in your team's day-to-day.

What makes me an authority on AI within design? I've spent the last two years rebuilding how I work around AI on real products in startups and large orgs. With 30 years leading teams and delivering high-stakes products, I bring training that helps your team apply AI effectively.

HOW IT STARTS

A 1:1 diagnostic for every team member

Every person starts with the same diagnostic I run one-to-one. Each person comes away with a clear understanding of where they are, their AI maturity and what to focus on next. As a design leader, you come away with a map of where the whole team sits on the AI Native ladder, and where the effort will pay off most.

That map shapes the curriculum before we start.

TWO WAYS TO RUN IT

Individual seats, or a group cohort

Individual seats

The full one-to-one experience, per person. Their own diagnostic and path, their own AI co-pilot as a guide, their own product carried from idea to a working build. Best when you want a few people taken deep and to return with greater capability.

WHAT WE FLEX

The curriculum bends to the team.

Seventeen lessons, four stages, but not every team needs every stop. We set the weighting based on the diagnostic map: heavier on prompting and agents for one team, and on research and definition for the other. The founder-facing stops come out unless you're building to pitch.

WHAT THE TEAM WALKS AWAY WITH

A way of working, not a workshop memory

A way of working with AI

One the team keeps and builds on.

Real product from each squad

Built and working.

One shared operating model

So everyone briefs AI the same way and gets more consistent results.

The judgement to know when AI is wrong

The part no tool gives you.

TAUGHT BY SOMEONE WHO'S DONE THE JOB

I've spent 30 years designing and building products, in-house and on the tools, at Microsoft, Channel 4, Sainsbury's, NatWest and E.ON. Over the last two years, I've rebuilt the way I work with AI on real 0-to-1 products, so your team learns what I actually do from someone who is still doing it.

LET'S TALK

Tell me about your team.

Where they are with AI, what you want them building, and how many. I'll come back with a shape and a plan for the outcome you want.

A few teams at a time, so the support stays real.
