This course, run as a mock agency, is a team studio between MDES candidates in their first and second years. As firm leaders, second year MDES candidates organized the firm to execute an end-to-end design thinking production cycle from recruiting and co-design workshops to ideation, user-testing and business design. Second years leadership roles include: HR, Payroll, Chief Design Officer, Asst. Chief Design Officer and VP of Product. As VP of Product, I worked with the Chief Design Officer to manage logistics as the shape and scope of our team structure, road map and offering shifted. Then, I designed a go-to-market strategy and sustainable business model for the offering through a pro forma. In addition to their leadership roles, second year student also acted as designers and coaches on first year design teams. I led the card game team.
