What people are saying
“I’ve seen Douglas in action, and the guy’s awesome — he combines the management, business, and technical depth of a CTO with the design thinking skills of a master facilitator. It’s a combination you just don’t see.”
— Jake Knapp, Google Ventures Design Partner & Author of SPRINT
What’s a Design Sprint?
Originally developed at Google Ventures, a Design Sprint is a 5-day process where stakeholders align around a particular problem and rapidly prototype and test a potential solution.
