About Course

This short course is taught in the Design Studio at our Rondebosch campus. Lerato Molefe shows you how designers listen to people, spot real problems and test simple ideas early. You work on a small project from a real brief, using sketches, interviews and quick prototypes. By the end you will have a clear process you can use for products and services in any workplace.
