The AI-native designer

From ideas to interactive prototypes – without coding, from scratch.
Learn to rapidly prototype digital experiences using AI tools that transform concepts into interactive prototypes while you maintain creative control.
Course is held in central Helsinki. The exact location will be emailed to participants at least two weeks before the course. Lunch is included.
Course is limited to 30 participants.
Basic UX/UI design knowledge required. No coding or AI prototyping experience necessary.
Build interactive prototypes in minutes instead of hours. Test more ideas before committing to detailed design. Accelerate the journey from concept to validation.
Move beyond static screens in Figma. Create functional interactions, test flows, demonstrate concepts to stakeholders—all without traditional development time.
Use AI to generate the first drafts, then apply your thinking and craft. Learn where AI accelerates work and where human expertise remains essential.
Understand when to use AI – and when not to. Know which tasks benefit from AI assistance versus human expertise. Recognize and avoid generic outputs.
Why AI prototyping transforms design work: speed, fidelity, ideation, and collaboration. Three core use cases and key principles.
