Learn to create a design strategy that differentiates your product from the competition
Use design research to uncover people’s behaviors, motivations, and goals in order to design for them
Employ brainstorming best practices to create innovative new products and solutions
Understand the process and methods used to define product behavior
It also offers interviews and case studies from industry leaders on prototyping, designing in an agile environment, service design, ubicomp, robots, and more.

Francisco-based design consultancy for consumer electronics, appliances,
devices, and interactive environments, specializing in touchscreens and
