// MEET YOUR MENTOR
FREYA
I'm a product designer, published neuroscience author, and EdTech builder. For the past 6 years I've been turning complex skills into learning experiences that have helped over 4,000 students build real, practical abilities.
No gate-keeping. I translate what AI engineers do into something everyday people outside the tech industry can actually use.

Develop Engineer Mindset
Understand how AI coding works and think like an engineer
- A Brand New World Is Forming — How AI is reshaping the product lifecycle and where designers fit in
- Tech 101: How AI Coding Actually Works — The 3 layers behind every AI system: files (brain), Cursor (hands), APIs & MCPs (nervous system)
- Coding Glossary For Dummies — Plain-English definitions for repo, branch, commit, PR, deploy and the dev workflow

Setup Your Core Tools
Get your environment ready and create your quality protectors
- Install Your Command Centre — Get Cursor, Claude Code CLI, and GitHub set up and ready to go
- Cursor Tips — Shortcuts and patterns that make Cursor feel like an extension of your brain
- Claude Code Tips — Use Claude Code in the terminal for bigger jobs Cursor can't fit in context
- Voice Dictation for Vibe Coding — Talk to AI faster than you can type, hands-free
- Codebase Enablement — Set up your project so AI knows your patterns, conventions, and rules
- Your DON'T File — Create rules that stop AI from making the same mistakes twice
Build Your 2nd Brain
Become the triad. Own end-to-end product delivery.
- Your Entire Job Is a Folder — Treat your work like a codebase — every doc, plan, and decision lives in files AI can read
- Anatomy of Skills — Reusable AI workflows you can call by name, like "/research" or "/design-review"
- Create Skills — Design It — Sketch out a Skill from scratch: input, instructions, output
- Create Skills — Strategise It — Decide when AI should ask, when to act, and when to stop
- Create Skills — Build It — Turn a Skill spec into a working command you can run from anywhere
- From Brief to Design Doc — Talk to your codebase in Cursor and let AI write the design doc with you

Automate your job
Learn how to use APIs and plugins to build agents.
- Anatomy of Automations — How automations are built: triggers, actions, integrations
- Product Lifecycle Loop — Connect Figma, your ticket tool, and your codebase so Cursor sees the whole product
- AI Agents Running Autonomously — Let agents run jobs while you sleep — define the goal and the guardrails

Ship Code Like An Engineer
How to ship your first Pull Request in Github end-to-end
- The 70-20-10 Rule — Know which problems to vibe-code, which to plan, and which to leave to engineers
- Create Implementation Plan — Turn a brief into a phased technical plan AI can actually follow
- Stress Test Your Plan — Catch the edge cases and gaps before you start building
- Start a New Project — The 5-step work loop: Open Repo → Pull Latest → Branch → Find File → Preview
- Implement Phase by Phase — Ship in small, reviewable chunks instead of one big AI dump
- Managing Visual Assets — Wire up images, GIFs, and design assets without breaking your build
- Feature Flags — ON/OFF Switch — Ship to prod safely behind a toggle so you can roll back instantly
- Commit & Push Changes — Save and share your work with clear commit messages AI helps you write
- Engineer Feedback Loops — Handle code review and feedback the way an engineer would
- Approved? Don't Forget E2E Testing! — Run automated tests that click through your app like a real user
- Handover vs Ship — When to merge it yourself and when to hand it off to your team
- Rapid Prototyping in Cursor — Build throwaway prototypes in 20 minutes to test ideas before committing

Prove Your Impact
Run experiments and let data prove your designs work
- Track What Matters — Pick the metrics that prove your work is working
- Run Experiments — Set up A/B tests so data tells you which design wins
- A/B Experiments Reference — A library of common experiment patterns you can adapt
- Best Practices Reference — Sample sizes, hypotheses, statistical significance — what you need to know
- Experiment Procedure Guide — End-to-end checklist for setting up, running, and reading an experiment
- Read Your Results — Spot the difference between a real win and statistical noise

Build A Full Stack App
Build apps from scratch and deploy them live
- Anatomy of an App: What Makes It Work — Frontend, backend, database, APIs — explained without jargon
- Scaffold Your App — Set up a fresh project with the boilerplate AI fills in for you
- Build Your Core Feature — Pick the one thing your app must do, build that first
- Add Breakpoints: Make It Responsive — Make your app work on mobile, tablet, and desktop
- Polish the UX — Loading states, error states, empty states — the details that make it feel real
- Brand It: Logo, Colors, Layout — Apply your brand system across the whole app
- Add Animations, Music & Motion — Small motion moments that make the app feel alive
- Build Your Landing Page — A high-converting landing page to send users to before signup
- Add Auth & Database — Login, signup, and storing user data so it persists
- Add AI Features — Plug in OpenAI/Anthropic to add AI features users can interact with
- Connect Payments & Booking — Take payments via Stripe and let users book or subscribe
- Deploy It: Get a Real URL — Push your app to Netlify or Vercel so anyone can use it live
Approx. 3 hours of content and a lifetime of building.

Voice-to-text prompts in every lesson
Talk it out. Copy your context with a detailed prompt. Paste. Build.
Try the Brain Dump feature
Record yourself answering each question.
- What does your app do? - Explain it like you're telling a friend at a coffee shop
- What problem does it solve? - What's the pain your users feel?
- How do people currently solve this? - Spreadsheets? A different app? Nothing?
- What makes your version better?
I want to clarify the positioning of an app idea I have. Here's the context: MY BRAIN DUMP: [YOUR BRAIN DUMP GOES HERE] Based on the above, please: 1. Restate what the app does in one clear sentence anyone could understand. 2. Sharpen the problem statement - name the specific pain, who feels it, and how often. 3. Map the alternatives people use today, with the pros and cons of each. 4. Articulate the unique edge of this version in 2-3 short bullets. Format the result as a "Positioning Brief" I can paste into my notes or share with a collaborator. --- This is just one of 20 interactive voice prompts inside The Augmented Designer Program.
