Level 3: AI Design Engineering & Productization
Orchestrate models and build design skills.
In Level 2 you learned to build and refine real work with AI as your studio assistant. In Level 3 you orchestrate models, build design agents and tools, and ship a real product: a brand system, a working prototype, or an MVP, with documented provenance so you own what you made.

The Multi-Model Design Stack: Google, Claude & ChatGPT
Stop loyalty-pledging to one tool. Learn which model to reach for by task across the three big stacks, and how to run a single design workflow that moves cleanly between all three. You stay the art director directing the stack.

Keeping Your Data & Info Safe
Before client work moves across three tools, you need one habit: redact, check the settings, hand off clean. Build a pre-flight checklist so confidential client data, PII, and unreleased work never leak into a model or its training set.

Building Design Skill Agents
Stop re-explaining the same design task. Package the repeatable behavior as a SKILL.md, an instruction file Claude loads as a skill and runs the same way every time and always hands you a draft to review and own.

The Forge Pipeline
One repeatable pipeline takes a fuzzy idea all the way to a shipped thing: ignite the brief, architect the design system, swarm the build, audit the quality, ship it. Learn the five stages end to end so you can run a project from blank page to product.

Open Design & Building New Tools
You are not limited to the tools other people ship. Learn local-first design tooling connected over MCP, and how to prototype a net-new design tool when the thing you need does not exist yet. You stay the art director; the tool serves your work.

From Prototype to MVP
A prototype proves an idea. An MVP is the smallest version real people can actually use. Learn to scope an MVP, cut everything that is not the minimum viable product, and get it ready to put in front of users.

Capstone: Ship a Final Product
Put it all together: ship one real product, a brand system, a working prototype, or an MVP, with documented provenance so you own what you made. Pitch it to a skeptical stakeholder, defend scope, cost, and ownership, then export your final artifact.

Build once, reuse everywhere
Your Product Brief
Build the one-page brief you paste at the top of every AI conversation about the product you are shipping, so the models, the pitch, and the provenance all stay anchored to the same thing. Answer these once, then reuse the brief across every tool and every stage from ignite to ship. Keep client legal names, PII, signed dollar values, and unreleased details out; use role labels like "the Client" and placeholders for anything confidential.
