Course overview
Do you feel ignored? Are your design presentations failing to have any impact?
Unfortunately, doing good design work is only half the job. The other half is getting people to agree that it's good, and that's where you might be struggling.
This course will teach you how to handle some of the most common communication challenges Designers and Managers often face:
- Handling opinionated stakeholders
- Having design recommendations and user needs 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
- Struggling to communicate the value of design in your portfolios
If you're struggling with these issues, Data-Informed Design can help by turning "Design Intuition" into a data-backed insight.
By the end of this course, you won't have theoretical frameworks. You'll have a practical step-by-step process, that I've used in my career, to learn how to work with Data, refine findings into insights, and create effective Data Visualizations and UX Stories to drive change.
I will provide you with real-life examples I implemented in Product-Led Growth initiatives, along with case studies from Meta, Nike, and Netflix, to provide actionable strategies on how to implement Data-Informed Design into your workplace..
By integrating "Just Enough Data" into your Design process, you can show how design decisions impact business outcomes and persuade your team to take action.
If you want to influence decision-makers, show design's impact on business, or create design portfolios that employers want to read, this course is for you.
