How will this course help you?

Learn how to shift and future-proof your job from an execution-focused UX/UI Designer to a well-rounded Strategic Product Designer.
Demystify what UX Strategy is and isn't and how to practically apply what you learned the next day with your team.
Learn how to approach vague problem spaces and UX discoveries without being limited by what's given to you or the known knowns.
Learn how to scope, slice, and ship MVPs that truly address users' needs and pain points while also being valuable for the business.
Learn how to shift gears into becoming more hypothesis-driven, iterative, and experimental in your approach to design execution with your team.

Practical & collaborative 🤜💥🤛

The concepts and techniques that we’ll explore can be applied with your team the next day.
