π₯ Behind the scenes of my Generative AI Workshop at UX Prompt!
In October, I hosted a workshop all about integrating generative AI tools into the UX design process. The goal was to help designers explore how to use these tools for everyday tasks while boosting creativity and efficiency.
Participants tackled a real-world design challenge, moving step by step from the problem to the solution. Along the way, they explored, tested, and implemented various AI tools. It sparked amazing discussions, creative solutions, and lots of learning!
Here are 3 tips for designers to integrate AI tools into their workflow:
1οΈβ£ Streamline repetitive tasks π οΈ
* Use text generation tools like ChatGPT to create user personas, generate design descriptions, or draft project briefs.
* Automate documentation or reporting with AI to save time.
* Try tools like Notion AI or Jasper for organizing and refining content effortlessly.
2οΈβ£ Enhance visuals and ideation π¨
* Use tools like MidJourney or DALLΒ·E to create quick mood boards or concept illustrations.
* Experiment with AI-driven prototyping tools like Uizard or Figma plugins to iterate faster.
* Start with rough sketches or ideas and see how AI evolves them into polished visuals.
3οΈβ£ Collaborate smarter, not harder π€
* Share AI-generated drafts or prototypes with your team for feedback and refinement.
* Use brainstorming tools like Miro with AI assistants to spark ideas during workshops.
* Always review AI outputs critically to ensure they align with your design goals and user needs.

The last cohort of βAI for Designersβ just wrapped up!Β π
Yesterday marked the end of the final cohort ofΒ AI for DesignersΒ this year. Six weeks of intense learning, experimenting, and growing togetherβwhat an incredible journey! π
Honestly, itβs always a bit bittersweet when a cohort ends. I feel a little sad to say goodbye, but at the same time, Iβm so proud of what the participants achieved. The case studies they created are inspiring!
π AI is here to stay, and I think we all agreeβitβs essential to prepare and level up in this space. I see it with my clients and, of course, within my community.
As a UX designer working on AI tools and designing enhanced AI products for my clients, I wanted to create something this year that helps designersΒ start simplyΒ and build a strong foundation in AI.
This course isnβt just about integrating AI tools into workflowsβitβs aboutΒ designing for AI. Itβs about understanding how to craft AI-enhanced products that make sense for users and create meaningful impact.
This year, I ran three amazing cohortsβin spring, summer, and this last one in autumn/winter. Each ran for six weeks, filled with live calls, workshops, and a dedicated community for support and questions.
To everyone who joinedβthank you π You made each cohort truly special.
Next year, weβre continuing the journey!
If this sounds exciting to you, join the waitlist (find the link in my bio) to get all the updates and be the first to know when we start again.
Letβs shape the future of design together! π
π‘ The skills that set great UX designers apart are evolving fast.
As we look ahead to 2025, there are a few emerging must-havesβbut letβs not forget, some basics are still as important as ever. Here are five critical skills every UX designer should focus on, plus tips on how to develop them:
1οΈβ£ Designing Beyond Screensβ¨At some point we might be moving past traditional interfaces to wearables, AR, and voice-driven experiences. These technologies demand new ways of thinking about interaction. β¨π How to get started: Experiment with tools like Figma XR or Unity for prototyping AR/VR experiences. Spend time observing how people use voice assistants in daily life.
2οΈβ£ Collaborating with AIβ¨Generative AI isnβt replacing designersβitβs augmenting us. From ideating to automating tasks, AI tools are helping us. We need to speed up because the flows, especially from AI-enhances tools are not linear, theory are complex and to prototype we need to speed up.β¨π How to get started: Learn the basics of prompt engineering and get hands-on with AI-driven design tools. Then, sharpen your UX research and strategy skillsβthese are less likely to be automated.
3οΈβ£ Building User Trustβ¨With digital misinformation everywhere, designing for transparency and ethics is non-negotiable. Trust will be the currency of future UX.β¨π How to get started: Study ethical design principles and brush up on data privacy and accessibility laws. Run design audits to spot and eliminate dark patterns in your own work.
4οΈβ£ Embracing Sustainabilityβ¨Sustainable design isnβt a trendβitβs an expectation. Users and companies alike are demanding eco-friendly solutions.β¨π How to get started: Dive into books or courses on sustainable design practices. Incorporate lifecycle thinking into your workflows and collaborate with teams to reduce digital carbon footprints.
5οΈβ£ Talk Business β¨The best designs donβt just look goodβthey drive business impact. Knowing how to align your work with business goals makes you indispensable.β¨π How to get started: Learn to communicate the ROI of your designs to stakeholders.
P.S. Thereβs a fresh episode on The Future of UX podcast all about it. ποΈ
π generative Interfaces π₯π²
You ever opened an app and thought,Β *βWhy doesnβt this feel like itβs made for me?β*
But lets start from the beginning: something thatβs becoming super normal these days: using AI to create content. Whether itβs with ChatGPT, MidJourney, Runway ML, or notebook ml. AI tools have made it ridiculously easy to generate everything from text to visualsβeven entire podcasts. Crazy, right? π€―
But hereβs the real question:Β *Whatβs next?*Β π€
Lately, Iβve been thinking about this a lot and I think itβs generative interfaces. Imagine an app that doesnβt just give you what youβre looking for butΒ *adapts itself*Β to how you like things.
- Into minimalist design? It strips away the noise.
- More of a visual thinker? You get bold images and way less text.
Itβs like the app evolves with you. Sounds kind of wild, right?
But hereβs where my headβs at: What does this mean for us as UX designers? Do we start designing less for a βtarget audienceβ and more for thisΒ *constant evolution*? How do we even test that?
I donβt have all the answers yet, but itβs something I canβt stop thinking about. Is this the future weβve been working towardsβor just one more layer of complexity?
Whatβs your take? Would love to hear how you see this playing out.
