About this course

Design Thinking is a human-centered innovation method used by product teams, consultants, marketers, and entrepreneurs to tackle problems that resist conventional solutions. This intermediate course moves beyond theory to give you a practical toolkit: structured empathy interviews, persona and journey-map synthesis, How Might We reframing, seven ideation techniques, low-fidelity prototyping formats, and assumption-driven user testing. Each module builds on the last so you finish with a fully exercised end-to-end problem-solving sprint you can repeat on any challenge.
