Questions about Paper Day
Do I need to know how to code?
No. You think on paper first. AI writes the code later, from your plan.
What do I bring?
An idea and your phone. I bring the paper, device frames, wireframe pieces, tape and pencils.
Where is it?
In the Dallas-Fort Worth area. The room is being confirmed now. Everyone on the list gets the date and address first.
Not near Dallas? Do Paper Day at home
The at-home version is the same five steps with a print kit and short videos. Join the at-home list and you'll get one email when it opens.
Can I get a refund?
Yes. If you can't make it, you get your money back or a seat at a later Paper Day. Your choice.
What happens after Paper Day?
You can keep going in the Build cohort or the self-paced course, and what you paid for Paper Day counts toward either one in full.

Questions about the Build cohort
Do I need Paper Day first?
Yes, in person or at home. You build from paper that real people have already tested, so the AI builds the right thing.
Do I need to know how to code?
No. You direct an AI tool with a written plan. We set up the accounts together, mostly on free tiers.
When does it start?
Right after the first Paper Day. Saturday mornings, live on video. The list gets the dates first.
Can I get a refund?
Yes, a full refund up to the start of session 2. After that, you can move to a later cohort.

I've led product design and AI experience at SPOTIO, Omnitracs, Capital One and Citi, and I helped build the product design department at Southern New Hampshire University.
This year I designed and shipped my own app, Cubby, from one sentence to the App Store, using AI-assisted tools. I know what the middle of that looks like, including the parts that go badly.
