Course overview
When Was The Last Time The Final Product Looked Anything Like Your Designs?
How many of your great designs are collecting dust because your suggestions get shot down?
Creating great designs is only half the battle. The other half? Communicating the value of your work to others.
How can you tackle the most common communication challenges designers face, like:
* Getting buy-in for your design recommendations
* Building persuasive portfolios that showcase your value to businesses
* Moving teams beyond quick fixes to embrace strategic design solutions
* Demonstrating measurable impact of your design decisions
* Communicating design value effectively to non-designers?
The answer is through Data-informed Design.
Here's what you'll learn:
Week 1: Design projects faster
Spend an hour to save a month's work. Understand what the business needs, how design affects business outcomes, and explore design solutions rapidly before you sketch anything out.
Week 2: Use Data (& AI) to turn user research into actionable insights
Make it easier for businesses to act on your suggestions. Understand what they need, and refine user findings with frameworks used by Netflix, Meta, and AirBnB to use the power of Data & AI.
Week 3: Use Data Viz/UX Storytelling to persuade your team to take action
Persuade your team to make the right decision. Instead of relying solely on communication skills, leverage the power of Data Visualizations and UX Story frameworks to make compelling arguments.
These aren't theoretical frameworks: these are 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 even know 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.
