I led product design at StubHub, was Moonfare’s first Head of Design, and trained PepsiCo’s designers to use AI. I teach the work around design, while the decisions stay yours.
Danielle Thompson, founder of Switchboards
Clients hire you for your eye. The schedules, write-ups and awkward emails around the room are the part nobody pays you enough for.
Set up in the workshop
Now:
Every piece you specify lives in a browser tab, and the schedule gets typed up at midnight before the client meeting.
With AI:
Your selections and supplied specifications become a draft sourcing schedule. Check sizes, finishes and suppliers against the source before sharing.
The living room starts from the one thing you both agreed on: the window seat.
Warm oak, a deep green sofa and low lamps, so weeknights feel like the weekend.
Set up in the workshop
Now:
The boards look right, but the words that explain them get written on the way to the presentation.
With AI:
Each board gets a short story of the room in the client’s own words, and AI plays the client so you hear the pushback first.
Set up in the workshop
Now:
Change orders go out late, because writing them feels like a confrontation.
With AI:
Your recorded decisions, costs and timing estimates become a draft change order. Check the figures and scope before sending it.
Next, not included
Now:
Specs for the joiner and the upholsterer live in your inbox, so details go missing between studio and site.
With AI:
Your decisions become a handoff note for each trade, with dimensions and finishes.
You set it up live on the home or room you’re designing this week.
Visualize
Brief AI on the home and how the household lives in it. Context beats a clever prompt, and your examples give it a better starting point.
Automate
AI drafts the schedules, the board copy and each change order from your selections, and you make every design call.
Optimize
Every selection and client decision goes into one project folder, so the next change order, or the next home, starts from what you know.
You set it up in AI for Designers. To see how far designers can take Claude, read Claude Code for designers.
No. It’s AI for Designers, my live online workshop for designers who want AI on the busywork around the design. You bring the home you’re designing this week.
AI never designs the room. Your eye makes every call, and as design careers change with AI, that judgement is what clients pay for.
No. It takes the schedules, board copy, change orders and client emails off your plate, where most of a studio’s week goes.
Yes. You choose what goes in, so addresses and names can stay out, and every draft is yours to check before a client sees it.
Supported tools and required plans will be confirmed before booking. Bring project material you’re allowed to use.
Bring the home you’re designing now, and set up a process that drafts the schedules, the board copy and the change orders.
