What is a “Full Stack Designer?”

A Full Stack Designer is someone who can see the entire process of design from the strategic origins and conditions through to the vital details of execution.

Based up on the success of our Full Stack Developer program, InceptionU is excited to launch its Full Stack Designer program.

Do you...

  • notice details and find beauty/inspiration in the world
  • often think, wouldn’t it be great if…
  • always have opinions about what you would change when using an app
  • think solving puzzles is fun
  • like crafts, specifically the process of making something - not just the result

If you answered "YES," then this program is for you. Hear from our industry connected and subject matter expert facilitators to learn more about our project-based learning environment. Build the competencies and confidence to understand design from the "balcony to the dance floor" and deliver on meaningful change.

ALL organizations need this talent.

Join us to learn more about the program design and opportunities that will open up for you after learning with us.
