The course is great for anyone looking to level up their strategic thinking. The modules are well-paced and easy to digest, making the content approachable yet impactful. The live workshops offered a great opportunity to put the material into practice and deepen the learning experience.

Everything about this course is well thought out. The content is engaging, and the templates and learnings are something I’ll take with me to use throughout my career.

Really glad I did this coursework. Helped me learn about processes in other companies, growing my design network, and then most importantly how to communicate to influence product decisions, roadmap and get the stakeholder buy-in

If you're a designer looking to make a bigger impact within your company and advance your career, this is the course for you. Practical and actionable lessons in product strategy, communication, storytelling, and fostering design culture. You're so much more than "just a designer" and this course gives you the tools to show it.

I just finished the *Product Strategy for Designers* course by Femke, and honestly, it was such a valuable experience. What really stood out to me was how it took these big, daunting ideas and broke them down into steps that actually feel doable. As someone who didn’t come into design through a traditional route, I’ve always struggled with the “how” of some common advice. You’re often told things like “run a workshop,” but figuring out the details is usually left up to you—or you’re sent to read an article that still leaves questions. This course really closed that gap for me. It’s packed with actionable advice and clear guidance, which makes everything feel way more approachable. One of my favorite things was how it highlights the relationship between product and design. It doesn’t just talk about design processes in isolation but really digs into how design and product teams can work together effectively. It helped me see where certain processes at work could use tweaking or where there are gaps that need filling. The final module, *Influencing Design Culture*, was the cherry on top. It wasn’t just about processes or frameworks but also about the softer side of collaboration—things like how to discuss solutions, balance technical feasibility, and build a solid design culture between projects. These “in-between” moments are often overlooked, but they’re so important, and the course nails that. This course is a must if you’re trying to grow your understanding of product strategy as a designer—or even if you’re not a designer but want to get a better sense of how to work with one. It’s clear, actionable, and super practical. Highly recommend! TLDR this course helped me with several areas: - How to acknowledge and address common design challenges in my org - Helped fill in knowledge gaps about complex concepts and ceremonies - Provides practical insights and action items

I’ve been wanting to take this course for a while now, and I’m so glad I finally did. I learned how to to work alongside PM’s to influence the product roadmap, add more value to design strategy, improve stakeholders presentations and communication, strengthen leadership skills, and how to influence design culture. Each section was super engaging, and the weekly live sessions were always fun—it was great getting to meet other students in the class and the facilitators!
