The demand for compelling design is skyrocketing as attention spans are decreasing and an excellent user experience is expected.
When there are so many products to choose from, people will gravitate towards those that resonate with their values and identity. Human-centred design can go a long way in building a deep connection and empathy. Being able to apply the fundamentals of design and knowing how to sell a product are two invaluable skills to have in any industry.
With limited class sizes, our expert teachers can give individualized support and feedback to every student. Students will gain invaluable perspective and a mentor who will advise them throughout the program.

The company is developing an app for users to relive the experiences that make them feel happy and feel like they are with their family and friends, while immersing themselves in their favorite memories.
The app enables users to stockpile memories and journal the exciting parts of life in mixed media form — photos, music, voice memos, and quotes. For this project, interns worked to create marketing material for the app’s market entry in the US. This happened across multiple platforms with direct supervision from the manager. Interns also contributed to ongoing design thinking workshops and created new exercises to improve all team members’ creativity.
