Taken by 700+ designers from the world’s leading companies.
Do you also feel an invisible force holding you back from having real impact?
Being a designer in a business world is, well, weird. We are appreciated but undervalued. We are heard but misunderstood. We are stuck in what others perceive designers can do. Not what we can really do.
The missing piece? It’s business confidence.
Take the 7-day Mini MBA to gain business confidence and start designing your impact.
Thoughtful business
education for designers
The d.MBA is a 6-week online business course made specifically for designers. It covers all the relevant business topics while honoring the human-centeredness that made us designers in the first place. We are focused on rapid skill acquisition so you can start using business skills in days, not months. You’ll be able to:
Speak the language of business
Create design that gets buy-in
Have more impact on strategic decisions
Amy Angerami
Senior UX Designer @Amazon UX Labs
”My increased awareness of a design’s impact on business has broadened how I think about innovation. Having the ability to build towards viability and desirability, means that I can continue advocating for the user even when the conversation moves towards business decisions.”
Henrik Hagedorn
Senior Strategic Designer @N26
“Designers are rarely part of defining metrics of success, a moment where strategy usually takes shape. Learning about business and metrics changed that for me. I can now not only contribute but facilitate this process and confidently bring in the design perspective.”
Lucas Coelho
VP of Design @Roam
“Having business confidence allowed me to be involved in upstream strategic decisions that would impact much more the outcome of a business or a product than anything I could produce by moving pixels on a screen.”
A lifelong collective,
not just a course
The d.MBA is a carefully crafted intimate experience, where you will be taken on a journey in a small group of designers and mentors, who care about your progress. After graduating, learning and networking continues in the d.MBA alumni collective.
