About this course

Design courses usually assume a fast phone and a fast network. This one does not. You will learn to research, prototype and test products for the conditions your users actually have.

What you will be able to do

  • Run a user interview that produces usable insight
  • Turn research into a prioritised problem statement
  • Build a design system that scales past three screens
  • Design for low bandwidth and low-end devices
  • Present design decisions to people who disagree with you

I have shipped products used by millions of people on slow networks and cheap phones. Design is not decoration — it is the difference between a product people use and one they abandon.
