Designer & Builder · Maven Builder Academy

I'm a product designer with over a decade of craft behind me. I design the experience first, then build it with AI — fast, but never sloppy. Taste is the whole point: I refuse first-draft, “good-enough” output and push until it's something I'd put my name on.

For these five days, that's exactly what I'll hand you — not just the tools, but the eye to use them well.

Proof — a few things I've shipped:

Founding cohort · 30 seats · starts Oct 24

If you can describe it, you can build it.

You don't need to be tech-savvy — you need to be curious. I'm a designer who's spent 10+ years shipping real products, and now I build them with AI in days, not months. In 5 live days, I'll show you how to take an idea in your head and ship it for real.

What you bring

Your money — one founding price, once.
Your laptop.
Your time — 5 live days across 3 weekends.
Your curiosity — and the pile of ideas you've never shipped.

What you walk away with

For the price of one seat, you borrow what took me a decade to earn:

My curious mind — how I break any idea into something a machine can build.
10+ years of designing and shipping real products, compressed into 5 days.
Real AI depth — directing the machine, not just chatting with a bot.
My design taste and direction — so what you ship looks right, not like slop.
My taste library — the references and patterns I build from.
My Warm Fusion design system — yours to keep and build on.

Proof, not promises

I build what I teach.

Real, shipped work — built with the same process you'll learn.

Taste, made visible

"It works" → "it's right"

Drag the handle: pull left for your taste pass, push right for raw AI. That gap is the whole course.

The Vault · what's inside

Every unfair advantage, day one.

Who it's for

If you've ever thought "I could never build that"

Total beginners

Never written a line of code

Good. We start with an idea and a way to build it, not with theory.

Product folks

You spec it. Now build it

Prototype and ship your idea yourself, with taste, without waiting on a team.

Developers

You build, but does it look built?

Borrow a designer's eye so what you ship feels as good as it functions.

The 5 days · 6 live sessions

From an idea to a shipped product

Six live sessions across three weekends. Every session, you build — and leave with something real.

AI Fluency

Sat · Oct 24 — direct the machine instead of obeying it.

You leave with

Your first real, directed build — and the mindset that makes AI listen.

Design Language & System Thinking

Sun · Oct 25 — break an idea into a system, then design it with taste.

You leave with

Your product's system and its first designed screens.

Build It

Fri · Oct 30 — turn the design into a working build, step by step.

You leave with

A working prototype of your own idea.

Ship It

Sun · Nov 1 — put it live on the internet, for real.

You leave with

A real, live URL you can share.

Refine It

Sat · Nov 7 — the taste pass: make it something you'd put your name on.

You leave with

A polished product — the gap between "it works" and "it's right".

Demo Day

Sun · Nov 8 — present what you shipped, get feedback, plan what's next.

You leave with

Your build, shown — and your 1-month mentorship begins.

Sessions run 1–2 hours each · every session recorded, yours to keep.

Fluency, not dependency

You'll leave thinking sharper, not softer.

There's a crowd that believes AI is here to do your thinking for you and dull your mind. You'll leave on the other side of it. Here you learn how to learn with AI — to question it, direct it, and judge what it gives you. The machine does the lifting; you keep the thinking, the taste, and the final call. You walk out genuinely AI-fluent, and more curious than when you came in.

Direct, don't obeyYou steer the machine. It never steers you.

Question, don't swallowYou learn to see what's wrong, and fix it.

Curiosity, amplifiedThe more you build, the more you want to.

The honest cost

Most courses hide this. We don't.

Every tool is free to start, so you can take the whole course and ship real work without paying a naira beyond the course. A paid tier (~$20/mo) only pays for itself later; your choice, and we teach you when it's worth it.

Honest answers

The questions you're actually asking

Do I need to know how to code or design?

No. That's the point. You'll learn to direct AI to build, and pick up a designer's eye by doing, not studying.

Can I afford the tools on top of the course?

Yes. Every tool we use is free to start, and the whole cohort runs on free tiers. A paid tier only becomes worth it later; your choice, and I'll tell you when.

Is it live, or self-paced?

It's live. Six sessions across three weekends (Oct 24 – Nov 8), 1–2 hours each. Every session is recorded, so you keep the replays.

Won't leaning on AI make me lazy?

The opposite. You learn to direct and question AI, not just accept what it gives you — which sharpens your judgment and your curiosity. You leave thinking better, not less, and genuinely AI-fluent.

What does "founding cohort" mean?

The first cohort, capped at 30 seats at ₦20,000. You get all 5 days live, the recordings, my tools and design system, and a month of mentorship after. The price rises for the next cohort.

If you can describe it, you can build it.

What you bring. What you walk away with.

I build what I teach.
