This workshop is all about establishing a design thinking mindset to tackle business problems. Theories will be intertwined with the instructor's "in-the-trenches" know-how and insights from his years of experience working at Google, Pure, Amazon, and IBM.

No prior UX knowledge or experience required. Class materials will be shared ahead of the class.

" Your knowledge, experience, and passion for design really came through in the class. That is really appreciated - and also encouraging and motivating..." - Mark F.

" I genuinely learned so much more in your 8 hour workshop than a course that spans weeks or months. The highlight of your workshop is how you teach the concepts but also incorporate what it will realistically be like in the industry..." - Diana H.

" I wanted to thank you for a terrific, informative UX design bootcamp. I was impressed by your knowledge, really enjoyed your lecture style, and appreciate you staying after to answer questions." - Skye S.

" Thanks for a great bootcamp this weekend! I really enjoyed it and you’re an excellent teacher. Your class really helped solidify my interest in UX research." - Jayelin F.

" I learned more in 8 hours than I did in a part-time 8-week program thank you, Steven! " - Mindy R.

The class is to be held at Satellite co-working space in the heart of gorgeous Sunnyvale downtown. The location is a short walk from the Sunnyvale Caltrain station, it sits directly above Coffee & More, and is a stone throw away from all the Sunnyvale downtown eateries. If you drive, there's plenty of parking spaces nearby as well.

The course is a good fit for the following professionals:

• Product managers, engineering managers, strategists, startup entrepreneurs, marketing, and other customer-facing professionals will benefit from learning new UX skills to generate high-quality customer insights and design feedback
• Visual designers and UI designers will be able to upskill and leverage their new skill set to expand their career options
• UX designers will learn from a seasoned professional on the soft skills/business skills required to make UX successful in their workplaces
• Developers will gain a better understanding of how they can build software that users find intuitive and delightful to use, thus reducing usability bugs, customer frustrations, and time-wasting rework
• Love good design? You'll love this class.
