AI Tools for Designers

About this session

When it comes to AI and design, it can feel like everyone else already knows what they’re doing while you’re still wondering where to even start.

New tools are popping up constantly, opinions are loud and conflicting, and the pressure to “keep up” can spark everything from curiosity to full-on panic. That kind of uncertainty isn’t great for creativity. And it definitely doesn’t help you do your best design work.


Here’s the good news: AI isn’t here to replace designers, and you don’t need to master every tool to stay relevant. You just need a clear, grounded way to understand how AI actually fits into a modern design workflow.

Join Tauri from Skillcrush by PowerToFly for a practical, interactive, and supportive session designed specifically for designers who want to use AI without losing their creative voice. We’ll bust common myths, explore real-world use cases, and show you how to treat AI like a fast, idea-filled junior teammate instead of a threat to your job. You’ll leave with concrete strategies, tool recommendations, and prompting techniques you can immediately apply to your own projects.

In this webinar, you’ll learn how to:

  • Shift your mindset around AI, understanding what it can do and, just as importantly, what it can’t
  • Use AI tools to overcome blank-page fear, generate rough drafts, and explore alternative design directions
  • Write clearer, more effective prompts so AI outputs actually support your creative goals
  • Choose the right AI tools for different stages of the design process, from planning to wireframing to polish
  • Leverage AI for color palettes, font pairings, content generation, and early design feedback
  • Iterate like a creative director by refining, redirecting, and improving AI output instead of settling for the first result
  • Prepare cleaner, more organized design files for handoff using AI-powered Figma features and plugins
  • Use AI to support non-design work like client questionnaires, feedback synthesis, and professional communication
  • Bring your human edge (your impeccable taste, strategizing prowess, empathy, and cultural context) to turn AI output into meaningful, user-centered design

Whether you’re AI-curious, cautiously experimenting, or feeling overwhelmed by the noise, this session will help you move forward with confidence. AI can speed things up. but you are still the pilot. Let’s design smarter together!
