Everything included in Design Forward

Lifetime access to this cohort's Skill Starter Kit
A collection of AI systems that I have personally tested and modified within my design practice. You can choose to adapt them into your own design process as is, or use these implements as raw material for your own custom-fitted applications.
-
Lifetime access to this cohort's core lessons
Keep lifetime access to the core lessons, resources, and live-call replays from your Design Forward cohort, so you can revisit them whenever you need a refresher on a future project.

THE
JOURNEY
A guided path from AI curiosity to practical systems and more room for your best creative work
Design Forward is built around one focused tool, practical applications for real web design work, and the space to shape everything around your own process. Each week, you’ll receive short self-paced lessons, guided exercises, community conversation, and optional live call.
Week One
Build Your Foundation
Get introduced to Claude Skills: reusable AI systems that can hold the instructions, context, and process behind a specific task.
You’ll learn our approach to using AI without compromising the vision, perspective, and creative direction that make your work unique. Then, you’ll set up your first Skills, explore how to create your own, and get a beginner-friendly introduction to connectors—the ways AI can work with the tools you already use.
Week TWO
Shape your systems
This is where you put AI to work across your real web design process. We’ll map the journey from early strategy through project delivery, looking for the repetitive, time-consuming tasks that do not need your expert eye every single time.
You’ll work through the Skill Starter Kit and set up the done-for-you systems that fit your practice—from strategy and SEO planning to accessibility, image preparation, content, brand assets, and more. You’ll also customize them around your clients, voice, process, and preferred way of working.
Week THREE
Make Space for Play
Bring an idea that has been sitting in your wireframe, sketchbook, or “maybe someday” folder. This week is a deep dive into the Fun Feature Skill: your creative starting point for turning a concept into a custom interactive website feature.
Think quizzes, guides, stamp creators, oracle-card experiences, and branded tools designed around a client’s brand. You’ll learn how to create a copy-and-paste feature that can live within the website platforms you already use and trust, with content and settings that can remain editable after handoff.
Week FOUR
Share what you’ve built
We’ll close the camp by showcasing the Skills and ideas created inside the pop-up community. See how other web designers are using AI to solve problems, streamline their process, and bring unexpected ideas to life and share what you have been exploring, too.
You’re in great creative company
It was so helpful! I've been really torn about how to incorporate AI into my workflow while still using my brain and keeping my skills sharp. I had no idea about Claude Skills. Thank you for all your time and energy!

I loved everything about it! It was so much fun and I really learned a lot with your guidance. It has helped me expedite, deliver things easier, and exceed expectations from what clients were thinking they would get versus what they end up with.
