What would you do with 10 extra hours a week?
Join AI Bootcamp for Designers & Artists
If you feel behind and you want to add time back onto your calendar, AI is your solution. Not to create your art (that's your job) but to sell your art. Get time back and speed up sales with this 3 Day Bootcamp.
Session begins Tuesday, June 23, 2026. 3 Day Bootcamp.
Can't come live? No problem. Replay available for 4 full weeks.
Can Speed You Up
That Will Triple
Your Results
the Right Skills
You've tried AI.
It gave you garbage answers.
You typed something in. It sounded robotic. It didn't sound like you. You thought, "this isn't for me" and closed the tab. That wasn't an AI problem. That was a prompting problem. And this is only ONE of the many problems this bootcamp fixes.
Every week you ignore AI, you're spending hours on things AI could handle in minutes. This includes writing descriptions, researching keywords, and drafting emails, just to name a few. The designers who figure this out aren't working harder than you. They're just working with better tools.
By the end you'll know exactly how AI fits into your creative business and you'll wonder why you waited so long.

Sound familiar? You don't have to keep feeling this way.
You're feeling behind
- Your feed is full of AI and it feels like everyone else already figured it out
- You've tried it, the results felt fake, and you quietly gave up

- Crafters, makers, artists, surface pattern designers
- Those looking for an encore career in design
- Anyone transitioning into a creative business full time
You want your time back
- You're spending hours on tasks unrelated to your actual art

- You're ready to reclaim 10+ hours a week
Three days. One big shift.
About 3 hours of video broken across three days. Watch at your own pace. No tech background needed. By the end, AI will make sense for your creative business in a way it never has before.
Understand What AI Actually Is
Cut through the noise and the hype. You'll walk away knowing exactly what AI is, what it can't do, and why it was practically made for creative people running small businesses.
Stop Getting Useless Answers
The reason AI gave you garbage results before wasn't the tool. It was the prompts. You'll learn how to talk to AI so it gives you results that actually sound like you and work for your business.

Meet Carina
Creative Director and University President
Dr. Carina Gardner, Ph.D., is a designer, educator, and entrepreneur. She is the founder of Design Suite and the University of Arts & Design. Her work focuses on helping creative professionals build sustainable design businesses.
I'm a designer, creative director, professor, and the founder of Design Suite and the University of Arts and Design. For 17+ years I've been building a creative business: licensing patterns, teaching designers, and figuring out how to do more with less.
When AI started taking over every conversation in the design world, I felt it too. The fear that everything was changing too fast. The frustration of trying tools that gave me nothing useful. So I did what I always do: I went deep, figured it out, and built a way to teach it that actually makes sense for creatives. This bootcamp is the starting point I wish I'd had.
Watch at your own pace. Replay Available for 4 Weeks.
Can't make it live on June 23? No problem. The replay is available for 4 full weeks so you can watch on your own schedule, pause, rewind, and take it all in without rushing. About 3 hours total across the three days.
