How We Built Bridge for Product Designers
It's been a few months since we finished our beta Bridge for Product Designers course, so it's a perfect time to reflect on the experience. If you haven't heard of us before, at Bridge we build and run part-time courses that are free for students with the goal of fostering a more inclusive, diverse, and accessible tech industry. Our courses are made by volunteers and hosted at tech companies in Toronto. They're designed to remove barriers for junior to intermediate professionals who are women, non-binary, or agender. We're able to efficiently build courses that are tailor-made for these groups by applying design thinking and lean development methodologies. We utilized processes like project discovery, user research, user journey mapping, usability testing, and iterative improvement. This is the story of how we used those methodologies to make a really amazing product.
