“If a picture is worth 1000 words, a prototype is worth 1000 meetings.”
— Tom & David Kelley, Creative Brothers at IDEO


The Design Accelerator is an opportunity to advance your knowledge and experience toward becoming a product or service design professional. This course focuses on a real-world project for a socially responsible and sustainable company. You will conduct research, create personas, use journey maps, and design high-level solutions for your client. You will finish by presenting your design process and solutions.

You’ll learn the process of this strategic problem solving approach, and how it can help you and your organization rethink the products, services, and experiences you offer to your audiences. The workshop will help you learn and practice Design Thinking and build a foundation for a more collaborative, innovative, and effective process.
