Every startup's product looks like it was designed by the same depressed robot ๐
Minimalist. Purple gradient buttons. A hero section that says "The future of [blank] is here." You know what I'm talking about.
In this hands-on workshop, you'll learn from an ex-Dropbox, award-winning product designer (Kathy Wang) how to prompt like a designer.
Youโll walk away with:
๐ ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐๐ถ๐ด๐ป ๐๐๐๐น๐ฒ๐ ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐ฐ๐ผ๐ป๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ (neo-brutalism, vaporwave, glassmorphism...heard of them?)
๐ ๐บ๐ฒ๐๐ฎ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ผ๐บ๐ฝ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ต๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ธ๐ (design psychology, Nikita-Bier-style)
๐ ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ฝ๐ถ๐ฑ ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ผ๐๐ผ๐๐๐ฝ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ต๐ป๐ถ๐พ๐๐ฒ๐ (the playbook Kathy used to win 2nd place at a Manus hackathon with 5 minutes of work)
After all, your product should look like a human made it...not a depressed robot.
