Why Yummy Labs
You need work that proves real UX thinking, and AI workflows to match.
Bootcamps teach you to decorate.
You spend months on fake projects. Hypothetical users. Invented constraints. Then you graduate and realize you've never shipped anything that touched a real business. Employers can tell.
AI illiteracy is the other cliff.
AI is everywhere. The noise is deafening. But the right workflows? They're genuine superpowers, if you know which ones actually matter.
Here's how we close that gap, in 2.5 weeks.
How it works
2.5 weeks. One sprint. End-to-end.
Remote
Flexible schedule
Designed for working designers
We partner with real venture-backed startups who share their context, real data, real users, real constraints. You build your own solution to their challenge. The brief is real. The work is yours.
Week 1: Frame
Understand the problem. Research real users. Analyze real data. Define your angle. Learn to think like a founder, not a pixel-pusher.
Week 2: Design & Build
Design, prototype, test, iterate, using AI-native workflows. Ship a complete solution. Present your work. Top designs get shown to the startup's founders.
After the sprint
Fireside chat with the startup's founders
1-on-1 review with your sprint guide
A portfolio piece that screams
Lifetime access to the AI Workflow Library, updated as AI evolves
A community of designers that support each other
A peak inside Discord

No waitlist — when it's full, it's full
Claude is the backbone of every sprint.
You'll learn AI-native design workflows. By the end of the sprint, you'll know how to go from messy research to a testable prototype in a single day. You'll use AI to handle the repetitive work so you can focus on the decisions that actually matter. And you'll walk out with a workflow that makes you genuinely faster, not just at designing, but at thinking.

Download our UX UI designer Skill for Claude & Claude Code
Makes Claude think about the human first. It asks who the user is before building, applies psychology, designs flows not just screens, and pushes back on bad UX decisions.
Both skills activate automatically, no slash command needed. The UX skill handles strategy and psychology, the UI skill handles visual craft.

Two custom skills that turn Claude from a code generator into a UX strategist and visual craftsperson.

Past sprinters
"My process is sharper and my design thinking’s leveled up."
And more great things our Labs designers are saying.
Sound like you? Here's who gets the most out of this.
This sprint is for you if:
You're tired of learning in theory you want to build something that actually matters
You want to design like a builder, not a decorator
You know AI is reshaping design and you'd rather lead than catch up
Your portfolio doesn't reflect what you're actually capable of, yet
Not for you if: You want to be told what to do, you're here for a certificate, or you don't care about AI workflows

Dive into a real B2B CRM used by thousands of teams. You'll get access to real user data, real constraints, and a brief modeled after challenges the Twenty team actually faces.
Choose the live sprint if:
You want the full experience. If you want to be inside a real product team simulation with actual deadlines, daily direction from the Yummy Labs team, a mid-sprint review, and a final end-of-sprint review. If you want to work alongside other designers, get to meet and network with the founders in a dedicated fireside chat, and get hands-on help with AI workflows throughout. Designers who complete it receive a live sprint badge and our stamp of approval on their final case study.
Choose the async sprint if:
You want to build a real case study at your own pace, this is your starting point. You'll work through detailed modules, design within real product constraints, and get access to some of our AI workflows. Once you're done, you get a 1-on-1 career chat with Carmen to talk through your work and next steps.
