About This Workshop
Two kinds of designers exist right now. The ones automating their workflow and the ones watching them get hired.
This session maps the complete automation landscape available to designers right now – 8 categories, real outcomes, no fluff. Not a deep dive into any single tool. A complete picture of what is possible, what is already being done, and what you are currently leaving on the table.
You will leave knowing exactly what to automate first and how far down the rabbit hole goes.
The 9 areas of design automation we’ll cover
- AI Skills & Projects: Turn your most repetitivedesign tasks into reusable, one-click operations.Set it up once. Use it on every project forever.
- Visual Workflow Automation: Build automation pipelines visually – no code, no developers. Design work that currently takes hours runs itself while you sleep.
- AI Research Pipelines: From raw interview recording to structured insight report, automatically. The 6 hours you spend after every research session? Gone.
- Intelligent Project Management: Your project tracker, insight library, and client communications running on autopilot. Some PMs are already doing this. Designers are not. Yet.
- AI Inside Your Design Tools: AI is already inside the tools you use every day. Most designers haven’t noticed yet. I’ll show you what it can do.
- Client & Stakeholder Automation: Briefs that write themselves. Status reports that compile and send without you. Feedback that arrives pre-organised. The admin that currently eats your best hours.
- Competitor & Market Intelligence: A continuously updated competitive audit – delivered to your inbox, on a schedule, without you lifting a finger. I’ll show you what this looks like in practice.
- Systems & Orchestration: Where it all connects. A single trigger kicks off a chain of tools that runs an entire project pipeline overnight. This is where design automation becomes a genuine competitive advantage.
What You’ll Leave With
- A complete map of the automation landscape – every category in plain language
- A clear decision framework: what to automate first and where to start
- At least one automation you can begin building this week
- The Agentic Automation Starter Pack – templates and workflow maps sent after the session
