Product Design Launchpad

Product Design Launchpad is about enabling new problem solvers with the knowledge and tools required to build world-class products. We believe that surrounding yourself with the community that truly understands and appreciates design can be key for growing as a designer. A design community helps you to encourage and learn new things and also, aims at sharing the knowledge.

There are ample of benefits for knowledge pool. Being a part of the community can help you learn how to share ideas and how to grow unitedly.

The whole program will be divided into 8 sessions in which we will be going from the User Research to the Usability Testing.

Rohan Mishra is a Product and UI/UX Designer focused on creating digital experiences that make people's lives easier around digital products. Rohan is also an international Design speaker and a Design Mentor. Currently leading Go Out, Support and Reviews product designs at Zomato.

The program will be of 4 months with 8 offline sessions. In every in-person session, there will be one topic of design that will be discussed, and hands-on activity included. We will be going from finding the neede and problems from the users by user research to coming up with a problem statement to solving it through product thinking then bring it to wireframes taking it to the digital design and finally doing usability testing with the users. So, yes a complete product design cycle.
