In building your startup, design will influence how your customers and investors perceive your product and brand. In this workshop, we’ll step through before and after case studies from my product, numnums (http://www.numnums.com/?cid=se_pt_wsl_aw_up_differentiating-with-design&utm_campaign=se&utm_medium=partners&utm_source=women-startup-lab&utm_content=differentiating-with-design), to illustrate the impact of design on some of its key features. We’ll also step through the different types of design and examples of them.

You’ll come out of the workshop with ideas for how you can adopt design for your product and brand as well as actionable ways to engage your design resources more effectively.
