Sr. Designer → Design Engineer

Let's be honest

Your ideas are stuck in Figma.
Let's fix that.

You've got a folder full of ideas that never shipped.

You handed off the spec. The engineers had "other priorities."
Three months later, it looks nothing like what you designed.


Meanwhile, designers who can build are getting hired first, promoted faster, and charging double. They don't wait for tickets to get picked up — they just ship.


With Claude and Cursor, you don't need to become a senior engineer. You need to know enough to build fast, direct AI to do the rest, and ship things that work.


That's exactly what this course teaches.

Q4 Roadmap planning
01

Design to deploy in hours

Turn Figma frames into live, working product — AI writes the code while you focus on what ships and why.

~3 hrs from mockup to live URL
02

AI does the heavy lifting

Claude handles boilerplate, debugging, and iteration. You stay in the driver's seat — directing, not typing.

10× faster iteration cycles
03

Unlock higher rates & lead

Designers who build command $150–400/hr. Those who don't compete for $50/hr gigs. The gap widens every quarter.

$150–400 per hour, post-course avg

I went from not knowing what a pull request was to shipping a full-stack AI app in 6 weeks. This course completely rewired how I think about design. I stopped waiting for engineers to build my ideas — now I just build them. My team noticed within two sprints.

The moment I shipped my first Claude-powered tool at work, my manager asked how long it took. I said two hours. He thought I was joking. I wasn't. That single demo changed how leadership sees our design team entirely.

Who is this course actually for?

Product designers, UX designers, and design leads who want to stop handing off specs and start shipping working products. You don't need to code — but by the end, you will. If you can use Figma, you can take this course.

Do I need coding experience before I start?

No. The course is built for designers with zero engineering background. We start from the absolute beginning — terminal, Git, your first component — and work up to deploying real apps with AI. The learning curve is steep but the AI handles what used to be the hard parts.

What tools and stack will I work with?

Cursor IDE, Claude AI, Next.js, Tailwind CSS, Supabase, and Vercel. The same stack used at Perplexity, Vercel, and dozens of fast-moving AI startups. Everything is free or has a generous free tier — you won't need to spend anything extra to follow along.

How long does it take to complete?

Most students finish in 6–8 weeks at a pace of 5–7 hours per week. The course is fully self-paced with no deadlines. Some people go faster, some slower — you get lifetime access so you can revisit any module whenever you need it.

What makes this different from other design courses?

Most design courses teach you to make things look good. This one teaches you to make things that work. Every module ends with a shipped deliverable, not a Figma file. The whole course is built around AI-assisted development — not as a gimmick, but as a genuine workflow shift.

Is there a refund policy?

Yes — 14-day full refund, no questions asked. If you complete less than 20% of the course and feel it isn't right for you, email us within 14 days of purchase for a full refund. We'd rather you be honest than waste your time.

Do I get access to future updates?

Yes. One payment, lifetime access — including all future module updates. AI tools move fast and we update the curriculum to stay current. You'll be notified whenever new content drops.
