Field Notes — Applied AI for Designers

Six weeks of working with models the way you work with type: by hand, in public, with critique.

Module 01 · Weeks 1–2

How the machine sees

Before any prompt: what a model actually receives, what it can hold in mind, and why it agrees with you so easily. You map it on paper first.

  • Tokens, context and memory — drawn, not memorised
  • Reading output like a crit, not a verdict
  • Studio: one brief, three models, one wall of results

Module 02 · Weeks 3–4

A loop, not a slot machine

Generate, critique, refine. You build the habit that separates designing with a model from pulling a lever: a written critique between every run.

  • The four-step loop, in timed rounds
  • Writing critique a model can act on
  • Pair crits with another member of the cohort

Module 03 · Weeks 5–6

Prompts as design material

Prompts join your kit: named, versioned, reused. You finish with a personal prompt library and one shipped project you can walk an interviewer through.

  • A prompt library with names and versions
  • Final project: brief to shipped in two weeks
  • Demo day with outside guest critics

Part two

The person at the desk

and the work that leaves it

Your instructor

Hanna Morrow

Twelve years designing type systems and product interfaces, the last three with a model in the loop every working day. Hanna teaches the loop she actually uses, and shows the drafts that didn't work.

Student work

Illustrative examples of the final brief: one real problem, two weeks, a written critique for every version.

A type specimen that argues back

Jonas · type designer

The model writes the worst possible use of each weight; the designer writes the rebuttal.

Onboarding for a seed library

Priya · product designer

Twelve flows generated, three critiqued hard, one shipped to a neighbourhood library.

A crit partner for a two-person studio

Sam · studio owner

A saved prompt set that checks moodboards against the studio's own rules before a client sees them.

Menu system for a noodle bar

Aiko · brand designer

Menu copy drafted by the model, edited by the kitchen, tested with staff before print.

Accessible charts, rewritten

Mateo · data designer

Chart summaries generated from the data, then checked line by line against the source.

Questions

Before you reserve

Do I need to code?

No. Everything happens in chat tools and your usual design app. Two optional sessions show how prompts plug into prototypes.

Which AI tools do we use?

Whatever you already have. Exercises work with any major chat model; in week one we run the same brief through three of them.

How much time does it take?

About five hours a week: two live sessions of ninety minutes and one assignment.

What if I miss a session?

Every session is recorded, and your crit group keeps a written thread, so you can catch up the same week.

Can my employer pay?

Yes. We send an invoice with VAT details, and teams of three get their own price.

What is the refund policy?

Full refund until the end of week one, no questions asked.
