that will help you center human needs when designing your solution.
Using design thinking, designers from virtually every industry – from

humans who will interact with their products in order to take the
user experience to the next level.
In this session, you’ll gain skills to ensure you’re solving the right problem,
designing creatively, generating and testing ideas, and more.
