In Their Words

From the people who've been there

"

I've been in product for 8 years. This was the first time I actually watched someone use the thing I built — and it was devastating in the best way.

They promoted me into strategy without a map. DesignWorkshop gave me the vocabulary and the tools to facilitate a room of executives.
