For mid-career designers ready to operate as product designers at companies like Stripe, Linear, Notion, and Airbnb. You will ship case studies that pass a 90-second portfolio scan, run discovery and usability research that engineering acts on, and build the craft-plus-judgment portfolio that converts to senior-IC offers. Unique angle: every module pairs a real-world artifact (PRD-grade specs, accessible Figma components, severity-ranked usability reports) with the interview-room language hiring panels score against.
