About this Course

The way UX and product designers work is shifting fast. AI is compressing the parts of the process that used to take days — research synthesis, early ideation, wireframing, content drafting, even first-pass usability testing. Used well, it doesn't replace the craft; it clears the busywork so you can spend more time on the judgment that actually matters.

But speed isn't the same as quality. AI can make weak UX look polished, which means the bar for real design judgment is rising, not falling. The designers pulling ahead aren't the ones who hand their work to AI — they're the ones who know exactly where AI accelerates the UX process, which tool fits each step, and where human discernment is irreplaceable. That's the difference between dabbling with AI and genuinely upgrading how you work.

‍That's what AI for UX Design is built to teach. Rather than offering a high-level overview of AI trends, this course equips you with practical, hands-on strategies you can apply immediately across research, ideation, wireframing, content creation, and usability testing — to speed up your workflow and amplify your output without sacrificing the craft.

The course was created and is taught by Chrissy Welsh, who brings over 20 years of experience across fintech, health tech, e-commerce, and digital product innovation — including leadership roles driving design at the intersection of AI and real-world products. You won't be learning AI theory from the sidelines; you'll be learning a working practitioner's playbook for applying it. And you'll be in good company: over 1,000 designers have already come through the course, bringing what they learned back to teams at companies across the industry.
