COLLABORATE. COMMUNICATE.

Build relationships.

Projects require collaboration. As designers, we work with subject matter experts (SMEs) and clients every day. These relationships can be challenging! Join facilitator Penny Ralston-Berg to grow your design toolbox and improve your working relationships with SMEs and clients. 


Live Sessions + Games + Community + Resources

 Full 3-week workshop is $295 per person. 

Building Relationships between Designers and SMEs is a three-week workshop with three live Zoom sessions, Slack community, card game, and resources. In each live session, participants will build communication and collaboration skills in a fun and reflective way.
