Two free guides for designers working with Claude
I've poured a lot of work into these two learning paths — hours of hands-on testing, screenshots from real projects, and every lesson written to get a designer unstuck. One walks you end-to-end through Claude Design, the other takes designers into Claude Code. Both free, both written for you.
