Course overview
Doing good design work is only half the job. The other half is about getting people to agree that it's good. Unfortunately, that's where you might be struggling.
This course is designed to address the most common challenges UX Designers and Managers have communicating their work:
- Handling opinionated stakeholders
- Being overlooked or ignored
- Dealing with teams that only want quick fixes
- Not being able to showcase the value of your work
- Being unable to translate design solutions to non-designers
- Getting stakeholder buy-in for large, underlying user problems
- Not knowing how to talk about projects in design portfolios
If you're struggling with these issues, Data-informed Design can help. Turning a "Design Opinion" into an Insight backed by Data is a shortcut to effective design communication.
By integrating "Just Enough Data" into your design process, you can articulate and demonstrate how usability fixes can impact the businesses' bottom line.
If you want to influence decision-makers, show the impact design has on business, or create design portfolios that employers want to read, this course is for you.
I will provide you with real-life examples from leading Product-Led Growth Initiatives with Executives, and actionable strategies I've refined from mentoring businesses, instructors, and students in Data-Informed Design.

Data-Informed frameworks that showcase the value of your design work
If you've ever struggled to justify the "ROI" of UX, Data-Informed Design can help. You'll learn several frameworks that help you incorporate Data into your Design process to persuade others and showcase the value of your work.

Craft 5-minute stories, compelling narratives you can use to persuade your team (no creative writing experience needed)
Facts aren't enough: you need to learn how to tell UX stories to have the greatest impact. You'll learn frameworks to turn insights into UX stories, no creative writing experience needed.
