From Idea to App: Designing and Shipping with AI
Details
This talk presents a case study of the Shower Challenge app, walking through the end-to-end design and launch of a behavioral product built using a modern, AI-enhanced design workflow. The session focuses on the real process behind moving from concept to a shipped experience, including key design decisions, constraints, and lessons learned along the way.
Alongside the case study, we’ll explore how emerging AI tools can accelerate everyday design work, such as by supporting ideation, prototyping, and iteration, often without requiring engineering in the loop. Rather than replacing UX fundamentals, these tools help designers work more efficiently while staying grounded in user needs and behavioral outcomes.
The talk will also include a brief look at the speaker’s experience using Figma Make in professional work, and what it reveals about the future of designer-led product development.
