Information Design Manager
As we enter the mid- and later-stages of our careers, Designers may feel underprepared for the nuanced and complex challenges we face. Design programs and bootcamps don't teach advanced stakeholder management, data analysis, or how to describe the value of Design, so we pick up critical skills in two ways:
1. Osmosis: We absorb knowledge from folks around us
2. Trial and error: We jump in and hope for the best
Unfortunately, learning through osmosis leaves knowledge gaps and trial-and-error can negatively affect your career (especially if you’re at a company that doesn’t understand design).
Accelerate Design exists to efficiently bring proven career-critical knowledge to designers who want to enter leadership or refresh their leadership skills.
