As software integrates into every aspect of our lives, digital product design has more impact than ever. While most interface patterns are mature and commoditized, generative AI models offer new possibilities for human-computer interaction. In this exciting time, designers must adapt and shape the frontier of AI-driven computing.

Students will learn standard methodologies and tools for digital product design while experimenting with AI-assisted processes to execute their ideas into working prototypes. They will develop unique creative perspectives through projects, ultimately creating an interactive digital product. The instructor's professional practice in digital products, experimental AI interfaces, and programming will guide the course.

By course's end, students will have hands-on experience with an end-to-end digital design process, integrate AI into their workflow, and develop a distinctive portfolio piece showcasing their adaptability and creativity. Prior coding experience is not required, but students will learn using AI assistants like ChatGPT.

Majors are pre-registered for this course by the department. Preference is given to Industrial Design Students.
