Part 1

AI Fundamentals for Designers

Gain the AI fluency modern designers need, learning how to craft effective prompts, accelerate the creative process, and apply AI tools confidently across UX and product design workflows.

Key Skills:
AI Fundamentals
AI-Powered Design
Prompt Engineering

AI & Digital Design

Leverage AI to accelerate the design process while keeping creativity and authenticity at the center of your practice. Explore real-world case studies and learn how the world’s best brands apply AI to enhance product and UX design. Build a practical understanding of core AI technologies like NLP and LLMs, and learn how to apply them confidently within your own workflows.

Prompt Engineering Techniques

Learn prompt engineering techniques that help you get consistent, high-quality results from AI tools. Apply BrainStation’s prompting model to generate brand-aligned concepts, UX copy, user flows, and visual ideas tailored to your design context. Leave with a reusable prompting framework you can adapt to any problem space and integrate into your day-to-day design practice.

Part 2

Discovery & Problem Framing

Begin your design challenge with AI as your strategic co-pilot to uncover insights, understand problems, and establish a creative direction.

  • Copilot
Key Skills:
AI-Powered Discovery
Problem Framing

AI-Powered Discovery

Enhance your discovery with AI, gaining clarity, speed, and perspective. Conduct market and competitor analysis, create user interview questions, and use AI to extract insights and find missed patterns in your research. Quickly synthesize findings into a clear, decision-ready report, and move from data to direction in record time.

Problem Framing

Work with AI as a thought partner to sharpen your understanding of user problems and frame them with clarity. Use AI to conduct thematic analysis, explore problem framings, and generate “How Might We” statements. Create personas, craft user need statements, and formulate a UX hypothesis for your design challenge.

Part 3

Ideate & Prototype

Use AI to generate stronger design concepts, explore creative directions, and build testable prototypes that accelerate your product design process.

Key Skills:
AI-Powered Ideation
AI-Powered Prototyping

Generate & Evaluate Design Solutions

Move efficiently from broad exploration to a well-supported design concept with the help of AI. Rapidly ideate design solutions and narrow in on the most promising concepts. Use AI to support brainstorming and mind mapping, then stress test your solution concept by simulating stakeholder feedback.

Rapid Prototyping

Turn ideas into tangible, interactive prototypes, using AI to speed up creating layouts, copy, and visual designs. Start by curating inspiration with mood boards, then rapidly create visuals that adhere to your design system, guidelines, and brand. Build functional, testable prototypes and get stakeholder feedback and alignment faster than ever.

Part 4

Test, Validate, & Present

End your design challenge by using AI tools to help test and validate your solution, then build a presentation to showcase your work.

Key Skills:
Testing & Validation
Presentations

Test & Validate

Close the feedback loop faster with AI, running synthetic usability tests and simulating A/B testing and user feedback. Apply custom GPTs trained for design critique and use AI to help compile and distill your feedback into actionable next steps and key insights.
