Great design starts with research. Students will learn how to frame research questions and how to choose qualitative and quantitative methods to answer them. They will also develop their skills in synthesizing data, identifying opportunities, and presenting their findings.
Foundational research means collecting various types of data points to improve or create a digital product. One example is conducting market research and user interviews to add a new mobile app feature.

Students will get to leverage their creativity and problem solving skills to ideate and innovate solutions for the product. Students will learn the importance of sketching and rapid prototyping to evaluate early ideas.
Ideation and Innovation are steps within the Product Design process to constantly look for ways to improve the product. By rapidly sketching out ideas in a brainstorm, students are able to provide different avenues to solve a problem.

What is Product Design?
“Products” can have many meanings, but at Flatiron School our Product Design course focuses on UX / UI design for digital products we interact with, such as websites or mobile applications. Product Design is a holistic role, one that has ownership over the entire UX and UI process. Coding knowledge is not required, though it can be helpful, which is why we teach HTML and CSS basics.
