What will you see in the session?

A live demonstration of AI-native design: an AI coding agent does the building while the designer sets the context and makes the decisions. You leave with a method you can try on your own work the same week.

0–10 min

AI-native, not AI-augmented

The difference between using AI and letting it decide for you.

10–30 min

A live build

A real friction taken from brief to memory garden to a working screen.

30–40 min

Designing without the AI slop

Seed components and tokens that keep AI output from looking generic.

40–50 min

Your next step

The two UMO Design School paths, the certificate defense and scholarships.

50–60 min

Live Q&A
