You have a $500 budget for up-leveling your craft. How are you spending it?
My employer just announced a $500 "Professional Development bonus" for all employees in 2026. You don't know me, so I'm not asking how I specifically should spend the bonus – but if you suddenly had $500 to invest in a course, coach, conference, or other up-leveling method, how would you spend the money?
My brain obviously goes to learning more about emerging AI tools and capabilities. My team and I are all pretty seasoned Product Designers in the traditional sense, but are becoming more and more interested in AI tools and processes that other successful companies are actually using in their workflows. Any insight you all might have into a great AI course for UX designers would be great!
