Integrate AI (ethically, effectively, and with purpose) into every stage of your design practice —  from ideation to prototyping, visual design, and handoff. Generate UX deliverables, evaluate and refine AI-generated outputs, and develop a strategic decision-making framework for when (and when not) to use AI tools.

You’ll leave with a practical toolkit for using AI as a creative partner, along with strategies to scale your design practice and future-proof your skills in an evolving landscape.

Who Should Attend

  • Designers looking to integrate AI tools into their established workflows
  • UX professionals curious about AI but unsure where to start with practical applications
  • Anyone looking to maintain competitive advantages in the evolving design landscape

Create high-quality design assets and deliverables using AI tools

  • Streamline microcopy generation, UX writing, and content localization
  • Generate brand imagery, moodboards, and design variations with image generation
  • Produce wireframes, design mockups, and interactive prototypes using AI prototyping tools
  • Evaluate, edit, and refine AI-generated outputs to meet professional design standards

Future-proof your design workflow and team practices

  • Understand how AI is reshaping design roles, workflows, and team structures
  • Navigate organizational and ethical challenges of AI adoption in design teams
  • Design scalable systems and workflows that balance automation with human judgment
  • Develop adaptive strategies to stay relevant and lead through technological change

Recommended:

Access to one tool in each category:

  • A general-purpose AI chatbot, such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, Grok, or DeepSeek 
  • An AI prototyping / vibecoding tool capable of generating interactive prototypes, such as V0, Bolt, Lovable, Figma Make, or Magic Patterns

Most tools offer free accounts with usage limits that will be sufficient for course activities, though a paid plan may provide better results and greater flexibility for experimentation.

Note: This course will not cover designing AI features or products, or using AI for UX research.

  • I would tell someone to take this course over IDEO's AI Design Thinking course in a heartbeat. I learned more from this course over 7 hours than I did in a course that took 8 weeks. The application and documentation of prompts and the review of numerous tools were so helpful. I feel better prepared to successfully experiment with AI now.

Frequently Asked Questions

How will I get the link to the Zoom meeting for the course?

60 minutes before your course begins, your link will be available when you log into your NN/G profile.

Can I watch a recording of the course?

Live Online courses are live events hosted on Zoom that extend throughout the day and include many periods of interactive exercises. The learning experience cannot be replicated by simply watching recordings after the event. We will not be making course recordings, and making your own recordings is not permitted.

Will I be able to network and get to know other participants?

You'll join a Slack community for both course-related discussion and networking with fellow participants. You'll also be able to use the Slack workspace before, during, and after the event to maintain your connections. You'll be invited to join the Slack community the week before the event starts.

What equipment will I need to participate in NN/G Live Online courses?

You'll be streaming video and audio to your computer, and also speaking with other participants. Make sure you have:

  • A laptop or desktop (using a tablet is not recommended)
  • A stable high-speed internet connection
  • Speakers or headphones
  • A microphone
  • A webcam
Do I really need a microphone and webcam?

While it's possible to attend our Live Online courses without your own webcam or microphone, you will not be able to fully participate in learning activities. Many of our courses use hands-on practice as the primary way of learning design and research techniques. You'll learn more during these activities if you can fully participate, and your collaboration partners can see and hear you. We also recommend using headphones.

Do I have to download any software?

All courses use Zoom and Hightail, a file-sharing service. Some courses require the use of Google Drive apps or Miro. All tools are free to use and do not require you to create an account, but you should ensure your device permissions allow you to access these tools.

  • Zoom is a video conferencing service. Our meetings follow security best practices, including passwords and waiting rooms. We recommend installing the Zoom app, which is free. If you are not able to install the Zoom software, you can also join through Chrome web browser. Test your access to Zoom.
  • Hightail will be used to share downloadable course materials (such as PDF copies of presentation slides). Test your access to Hightail. (If your network blocks you from access Hightail, during the event our conference team will be able to assist you with alternative ways to receive your course materials.
  • Google Drive apps are used for collaborative learning activities. If you are not able to use Google Docs or Sheets, you will be able to download copies of the activity materials, but may not be able to fully participate in group work. Test your access to Google Docs.
  • Miro is an online whiteboarding tool and is used for collaborative learning activities in some courses. You can download the Miro app or open a Miro link in your browser.
Will my internet connection be fast enough?

You will need a stable internet connection with a minimum of 3 Mbps (up and down) in order o participate in 
NN/g virtual courses. Ideally, a faster connection speed of 25 Mbps download and 5Mbps upload is recommended to ensure HD video and audio quality. If you are using a WIFI network, disconnect all other devices from that network to improve the streaming quality. Check your internet connection speed.

Can I join from my phone or tablet?

We do not recommend attending our classes from a small-screen device. Although you will be able to connect to the meeting, it will be difficult to see the detailed examples shared during class. It will also be extremely difficult to participate in collaborative exercises which require typing and interactive documents.
