Mentoring & workshops

Build it with AI.
Make it good.

AI can build almost anything you describe. It can’t tell you whether it’s good, whether people will trust it, or what to do when it says “fixed” and it isn’t. That part is design, and it can be taught.

Who it’s for

Designers moving into AI

You want to build, not just mock up. Or you lead a team and need a plan for how design and AI agents work together, without losing the craft.

People building with AI

You’ve built something with Lovable, Cursor or Claude, maybe for a client. It works, but it looks AI-made, or you’re not sure it’s ready for real people.

Eleven years leading design for enterprise platforms and design systems, and now building software hands-on with AI agents, including a walking game on the App Store. See the work and the writing.

Ways to work together

Sessions are weekday evenings and Saturdays, Pacific time.

One-on-one

Mentoring session

$150 founding price · regularly $200

60 minutes

Bring what you’re working on: a design, a product you’re building with AI, a client situation, a career move. We work through how to approach it, and you leave with a plan.

  • A short intake before we meet, so we skip the warm-up
  • Google Meet, with screen sharing
  • A written recap within a day: what we decided, and your next three steps
Book a session Pick a time and pay when you book
Ongoing

Monthly mentorship

$300 per month · cancel anytime

Two 60-minute calls a month

For when you’re in the middle of something bigger: shipping a product, growing as a designer, or learning to build with AI. You get steady guidance instead of one-off advice.

  • Two calls a month, plus a recap after each
  • Async feedback between calls: send a screenshot or a question, and I reply with notes or a short screen recording
  • One shared doc that holds your references, decisions and progress
Book a free intro call 20 minutes to see if it’s a fit
Small groups

Workshops

Coming soon dates go to the email list first

Live, small groups

Hands-on sessions on the methods I use every week, run on your own project, not a toy example.

  • The reference method: teach your AI (and your client) what good looks like
  • Client-ready: what to check and hand over before anyone else sees it
  • Building with AI as a designer: the rules your agents follow

How it works

  1. 01

    Pick an open time

    Weekday evenings or Saturday, and pay when you book.

  2. 02

    Answer a short intake

    What you’re working on, where you’re stuck, and a few screenshots of things you like. Screenshots tell me more than any description.

    We meet on Google Meet

    Share your screen and we work on the real thing. Recording is optional, and only if you want it.

  4. 04

    You get a written recap

    What we covered, what we decided, and your next three steps, within a day.

Get on the list

Want workshop dates, curious about monthly mentorship, or not sure yet? Leave a note and I’ll reply by email, usually within a day.

Your email is only used to reply to you and send the dates you asked for.

Start free

Most of what I teach is free. If it helps and you want to go further, that’s what sessions are for.

Questions

Do I need to know how to code?

No. Most of what I teach is judgment: what good looks like, what to check, and how to direct the AI. You don’t need to write code.

Will you check my app’s security?

I’ll teach you what to check and how to confirm it yourself, but I don’t audit apps. For anything handling payments or sensitive data, get a security professional to review it.

Can I reschedule or cancel?

Yes, from the link in your confirmation email. Cancel at least one business day before your session for a full refund.

Can you build or design it for me?

No. I don’t take on design or build projects. Sessions are for you: I teach the method, and you do the work, so you can keep doing it without me.

What time zone?

Pacific. Open times show in your own time zone when you book.
