AI is no longer just a tool. It is infrastructure.
This hands-on session explores how UX and product designers can build real, production-ready AI systems that automate content, generate design assets, and orchestrate workflows across platforms.
You won't see slides. You'll see working systems.
Required to participate:
-Claude Pro for Claude CLI
-Figma Professional account for MCP (Edu works as well)
-n8n professional account (Free trial)
Bryana Rodriguez, UX engineer and AI specialist, will demo her graduate thesis project built with n8n: an AI-driven content automation pipeline that pulls live trends, processes structured data, generates multi-platform outputs, and measures performance — fully operational, end-to-end.
Chris D'Antonio, UX engineer and AI specialist, will demonstrate Claude Code-to-Figma MCP workflows, showing how structured prompt logic moves directly into interface components and scalable design systems — from reasoning to visual output — seamlessly connected.
Together, they'll frame the session around AI as design infrastructure, including:
- Building agent-based workflows for creative teams
- Orchestrating high-volume automation systems
- Moving from one-off prompts to repeatable pipelines
- Designing systems, not just screens
What You'll Experience
Live n8n Automation — Watch a real AI pipeline ingest data, generate outputs, and route content across platforms in real time.
Claude → Figma MCP — See how prompt-driven logic transforms into interface components and structured design systems.
Agent Thinking for Designers — Understand how LLMs can function as decision layers inside workflows, not just isolated chat tools.
Systems Over Tasks — Learn how to redesign your digital workflow so AI handles the noise while you focus on high-level thinking.
By the end of the session, you'll have a clearer picture of how to design autonomous systems that scale your work.
Light refreshments and networking to follow.
