Workshops

Maadmob offers a range of workshops on design-related topics.

I can teach these workshops in-house to your team; and often partner with companies who can do marketing and logistics in return for content (I usually do a split-the-profit type deal)

The workshops are modular - you can choose the topics that you most need training in and can assemble them into a customised training program for your team.

All workshops include a theoretical and practical component to maximise learning. Workshops are made practical by classroom discussion, practical design activities, skills practice and reflection activities.

All workshops come with an extensive theory booklet and resources for follow-up reading.

Note: Listed below are workshops that I have already developed. I am currently writing a new suite on design-related topics (participatory design, human cognition, page layout, interaction design and many more). If there is something you would like training in, please contact me and I’ll let you know whether (and when) I can do it.
