This intensive 100-day program is designed to give participants an end-to-end understanding of product design, UI/UX, colour theory, design thinking, composition, innovation, and product costing. The bootcamp blends theoretical foundations, practical tools, case studies, and real-world applications to help learners become skilled product designers and innovators who can thrive in competitive markets.
Participants will explore design as a business advantage, understand how technology and innovation shape product design, master the principles of good design, and apply human-centred methodologies to create functional, aesthetic, and sustainable products.
