6 step-by-step lessons + 2 bonus trainings · Templates and guided implementation resources · Lifetime access · $197 one time
LESS EXPLAINING. MORE DELEGATING.
What changes when Claude is set up properly
A basic chatbot answers one question at a time. A properly configured Claude workspace can retain your firm’s context, work from connected information, and follow repeatable instructions—so you stop rebuilding the process in every conversation.
Stop Starting From Scratch
Build reusable context around your firm, voice, services, and standards so relevant conversations begin with the background Claude needs
Turn Your Process Into a Reusable Skill
Capture the instructions, steps, and standards behind a recurring task so you and your team can run it more consistently.
Delegate Real Work
Give Cowork access to the files it needs, assign a multi-step task, and return to a finished first draft. Then learn how to schedule a recurring task so it can run automatically.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN
The Curriculum
Four progressive modules plus two bonus lessons. You’ll build directly inside your own Claude account, so by the final lesson your core setup is already in place.
Module 1: Getting Oriented
Understand what Claude actually is, and get set up properly before any client work goes in. You'll meet the four Claude products, choose the right plan, install it across web, desktop and mobile, and fix your privacy settings once so you never think about them again.
Lesson
- Welcome, Setup & Your Claude Roadmap
Module 2: Working with Claude
Start producing real deliverables, then give Claude the context to do it well. You'll build an interactive furniture budget estimator, turn a static design presentation into a live web page, create your first client Project, and connect the tools you already use.
Lessons
- Chat & Artifacts — Create with Claude
- Projects & Connectors — Give Claude Context
⭐You'll Build: An Interactive Budget Estimator, a Live Presentation Page & Your First Client Project
Module 3: Train Claude
Teach Claude your process and your firm. You'll capture a task you repeat weekly as a reusable Skill, then run the Firm Profile interview so every future project starts with full context about your business.
Lessons
- Skills — Teach Claude Your Process
- Build Your Firm Profile
⭐You'll Build: Your First Custom Skill & Your Firm Profile Context Files
Module 4: Delegating
Hand over real work and walk away. You'll give Cowork access to a safe folder on your computer, run a weekly client update end to end, then put it on a schedule so it happens without you.
Lesson
- Cowork — Put Claude to Work
⭐You'll Build: A Scheduled Cowork Task That Runs Your Weekly Client Update
Bonus: Claude in Chrome
Move from Claude telling you what to do to Claude doing it. Working inside your browser, you'll watch it scan your calendar at the start of each week or month, pull out every client meeting, and set up scheduled tasks so the prep happens on its own.
Bonus lesson
- Claude in Chrome — Take Action in Your Browser
⭐You'll Build: An Automated Calendar Scan That Schedules Your Client Meeting Prep
Bonus: Claude Design
Create beautiful presentations, one-pagers and websites from a description. Load in your logo, fonts and brand colors, then build a client presentation, a one-page service overview or a landing page mockup.

WHY LEARN CLAUDE FROM ME
Not another AI educator—a designer who speaks your language.
Over the past three years, I've tested hundreds of AI tools, trained more than 8,500 interior designers, and worked with firms of every size to understand where AI actually saves time—and where it doesn't. Claude is the platform I rely on every day because it's the one that fits how design firms really work.
Before teaching AI full-time, I spent more than a decade in commercial interiors and later led AI strategy globally at Steelcase. I've been on both sides: running projects and helping organizations adopt AI at scale.
Every workflow in this course was built, tested, and refined specifically for interior designers. This isn't a tour of Claude's features, it's a proven system for setting Claude up to become a practical part of your design practice.
— Stacy Thorwart, Founder, The Intelligent Designer
