Subject: Professional development request: DesignPass ($79/month)

Hi [Manager's name],

I'd like to request approval for an annual DesignPass membership ($79/month, billed annually) under my professional development or L&D budget.

What it is
DesignPass is a yearly pass for product designers shipping AI products. It includes:

  • Weekly live sessions led by designers actively shipping AI products in industry
  • A searchable archive of every past session
  • A private online community of working AI design professionals

Why it matters for my work
The AI design landscape changes faster than any static course can keep up with. New models, tools, and interface patterns ship every few weeks. DesignPass keeps me current on what is actually working in production, so I can apply those patterns directly to [project, team, or initiative].

Cost and commitment
$79 per month, billed annually. The membership comes with a 14-day money-back guarantee. After that, it auto-renews annually with the option to cancel at any time.

Happy to walk through how I plan to apply what I learn.

Thanks,
[Your name]
