Design to Code Community
Design it.Code it.Ship it.
AI isn't replacing product designers. But designers who know how to leverage it will lead the next generation of product teams. A community of designers learning to go from Figma to production code, with live sessions, direct access to Dianne, and workflows that actually ship.
Founding member rate. Locked in for as long as you stay.
Why this matters
The old way of designing is almost gone
The designers who learn this now will be the ones leading product teams, not just supporting them.

Your Instructor
Dianne Alter
CEO & Co-Founder, The Design Project
Dianne co-founded one of the first subscription-based design agencies. TDP works with funded startups, some acquired by Nvidia, Slack, and Mr. Beast, embedding AI into product team workflows every single day.
She now ships front-end code directly to product teams and is on a mission to teach every designer to do the same. She has hosted workshops for Friends of Figma, built Claude Code skills, design systems, and full presentations entirely through AI-assisted coding.
When she says this stuff changed her life, she means it.
