Design Thinking Courses

Design Thinking courses can help you learn user-centered design, prototyping, brainstorming techniques, and iterative testing. You can build skills in empathy mapping, defining user personas, and conducting usability tests. Many courses introduce tools like Adobe XD, Figma, and Miro, which facilitate collaboration and visualization throughout the design process. Additionally, you'll explore methods for gathering feedback and refining solutions, ensuring that your designs are not only innovative but also aligned with user needs.
