At UDC25, Fawaz Ibrahim took the stage with PROMPTcraft: Designing the Future with Words — a talk that felt less like a lecture and more like a story. He began with fire — how it transformed humanity — and drew a parallel to prompts: the new spark powering our age of AI.

He introduced his PROMPT Framework, a simple but powerful way to think about designing with words:

• P – Purpose → Define what you want clearly.

• R – Role → Tell AI who it should be (designer, strategist, mentor).

• O – Outcome → Describe the exact result you expect.

• M – Method → Guide how to reach it (step-by-step, creative, structured).

• P – Parameters → Add constraints (tone, style, format, limits).

• T – Tone → Inject feeling, originality, or cultural angle.

More than just techniques, he reminded designers that Africa has always been a continent of storytellers — and that same strength is what makes us natural “promptcrafters.” His session left the audience seeing prompts not just as commands to a machine, but as the language of possibility.
