Course overview
How many of your great designs collect dust because your recommendations are rejected?
Creating great designs is only half the battle. The other half is communicating the value of your work to others.
What's more, it's the key to future-proofing your design career. If you cannot showcase the value of design in 2025, you are a risk for businesses looking to save money.
How can you tackle the most common communication challenges designers face, like:
• Getting your team to move beyond quick fixes
• Showing the impact of your design decisions
• Communicating design value effectively to non-designers
• Getting teams to approve your recommendations
• Building persuasive design portfolios that attract employers?
Boost your design process with Data.
It doesn't matter if you're part of a 5,000-person organization or the first Design Hire at a startup: using these frameworks helps you communicate your value.
Here's what you'll learn in this course.
Week 1: Design what businesses need
Spend an hour to save a month's work. Understand the business's needs and how design decisions affect business outcomes, and you'll save weeks of miscommunication and rejection.
Week 2: Don't present information: present insights
You might have remarkable user findings, but it doesn't matter if no one acts on them. Refine user findings using frameworks employed by Netflix, Meta, and Airbnb to harness to drive action.
Week 3: Integrate AI into your Design processes
Rather than learning a single AI tool, you'll learn how to integrate AI, in a few short lessons, into your design process.
Week 4: Learn Data Visualization, a powerful skill that drives action
Working with Data allows you to use the powerful tools of Data visualization and Storytelling to make a real difference. No creative writing experience is needed.
These aren't theoretical frameworks; they're practical tips that I've used to lead multi-million dollar Product-Led Growth Initiatives.
I've also successfully led these initiatives in low UX maturity environments, where I've worked with stakeholders that didn't understand what UX was.
What You'll Get Out of the Course
* A practical, step-by-step process for working with data and refining findings into actionable insights
* Real-world case studies from Meta, Nike, Netflix, and history demonstrating successful data-informed design strategies
* Hands-on experience creating effective data visualizations and UX stories that drive change
* Templates and frameworks I've personally used to lead multi-million dollar Product-Led Growth initiatives
If you're ready to design projects faster, show how design affects business outcomes, and persuade your team to take action, you should take this course.

Learn how to turn down requests from executives without running into trouble.
Many designers don't know how to say no, which leads to trouble. When an executive comes by with a half-baked idea, it isn't easy to know what to say.
This is a script that I've used to politely refuse requests with data without running into issues getting fired.
