01
Problem Framing
Use these before you start designing anything. Good design starts with understanding the actual problem, not the stated one. These prompts help you slow down, look closer, and make sure you're solving the right thing.
02
Research and Synthesis
Use these to make sense of what you've learned. Whether you're working with interview notes, stakeholder feedback, or a brief that needs translating, these prompts help you find the signal in the noise and build a clear foundation before you start generating ideas.
03
Product Writing
Copy is a design decision. These prompts help you generate, evaluate, and localise the words in your product, from button labels and error messages to full translation briefs. Use them to get options on the table quickly rather than staring at a blank field.
04
Ideation and Concepting
Use these when you need volume before you need quality. The goal here is range, getting ideas on the table across the full spectrum from practical to outrageous, then using a structured lens to identify which ones are worth developing further.
05
Flows and Information Architecture
Use these when you're mapping out how an experience actually works, not just the happy path. These prompts help you document flows properly, identify where users will struggle, and pressure-test your navigation before committing to a structure.
06
Design Critique and Review
Use these before you go into a room with stakeholders. Getting honest, structured feedback before a review means you walk in with the weaknesses already addressed, not hearing about them for the first time in front of a director.
07
Strategy and Stakeholder Communication
Use these when design thinking needs to translate into business language. Whether you're defining a product vision, framing a recommendation for leadership, or keeping your manager informed, these prompts help you communicate at the right altitude.
08
Career and Job Search
Use these when you're actively looking, or when you want to stay sharp for when you are. From honest gap analysis to cover letters that don't sound like every other cover letter, these prompts treat your job search with the same rigour you'd apply to a design problem.
