This is the self-paced course. For live instruction, enroll in AI Design Bootcamp.

Study contemporary design tools and workflows on your own schedule and finish with a job-ready portfolio. The course covers graphic design, Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Figma, UI and UX design, AI image generation, and AI-assisted app development.

The coursework is project-driven, so you produce design pieces suitable for a portfolio, work through user research and prototyping, run image generation across several AI models, and stand up live web applications with AI coding tools. You finish with a refined design portfolio and a UX case study.
