whether your environment celebrates your potential or feels threatened by it.
there is enough room for all of us to grow.
and ai fluency, guided by humanity, is one way we create that room with more inclusion, access, and possibility.
letโs pick one ai tool and make the learning visible here for on Substack.
inspired by a great post from Claire Vo.
iโve been testing Anthropicโs Claude, Cursor, Googleโs AI Studio, and Lovable.
all useful. all different.
for this one, iโm choosing Claude Design.

build a simple proof-of-work page that shows what you are learning, testing, and applying.
๐๐๐ฒ๐ฝ ๐ฎ: ๐๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ ๐๐ถ๐๐ต ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐น ๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐ธ
describe your strengths, ways of working, goals, and the kinds of problems you are actively solving.

share what you tested, where ai helped, where human judgment mattered and leadership, what changed, and what you would improve next.
to make this easier, iโm sharing the prompt below.
it is written for designers and design leaders, but it can be adapted to almost any field and ai tool of preference.
๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ผ๐บ๐ฝ๐:
โact as my Creative Design advisor and coach.
i want you to design and build a live proof-of-work portfolio. this should not feel like a traditional portfolio with only project thumbnails and case studies. i want it to feel like a living design leadership lab that shows how i think, how i solve problems, how i use ai, and how i create business and human impact through design.
my role is:
[Product Designer / Design Lead / Design Director, etc.]
i want to be known for:
[human-centered design, systems thinking, ai-enabled UX, design strategy, accessibility, stakeholder alignment, responsible ai, product innovation, etc.]
my strongest design and leadership skills are:
[list your leadership strengths]
the types of products or systems i have worked on include:
[enterprise platforms, B2B products, consumer apps, etc.]
the business outcomes i have influenced include:
[revenue, adoption, retention, efficiency, reduced rework, improved usability, faster delivery, accessibility improvements, customer satisfaction, team velocity, etc.]
the human outcomes i care about are:
[clarity, trust, accessibility, inclusion, ease of use, safety, better decision-making, reduced friction, etc.]
and
ask me any clarifying questions you have before initiating the project.โ
team, we do not need to master ai overnight.
we need to make the learning visible and collaborative, so others can see it and build on it.
