Courses and programs

Content, design, and products—how these support each other: If you are a content or design practitioner whether in content design, UX Writing, interaction design, or any role where we make content and design support each other, and these support the product goals collectively, I am running a couple of courses for our collective learning.

The courses are planning around our learnability, curiosity, the standards, and how we serve as a support system, regardless of our role or function in an organization, for a much bigger sphere of influence.

Only 4 participants in a group

Directions

A course for early stage content design and UX writing practitioners

Standards

A course for experienced content practitioners and those who working on the interesting intersection of content, design, and product

Meaning

This is not a course but an exclusive space to discuss the deeper concerns in our work and the meta influence of our work

The goals

The goal is to widen the sphere of our influence—exploring new paths and the opportunities to find the strength and the directions, for the new standards.

“To manage and overcome emotions like guilt that can prevent us from learning and achieving, we need to treat ourselves the same way we would the person we love most in the world.” writes Dennis Tirch. (source, Farnam Street blog)

Shaping a few repeatable patterns as habits

My content design course participants say:

“I really enjoyed learning about content design and how to apply it to my daily work. This was a really informative and well-structured program. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a jump into the world of content design.”

Eiken Nurcelli, content strategist (see their LinkedIn)

“Because I knew nothing about content design, I chose the class in order to learn how content design and content strategy fit together and which impact good or bad design can have for the users experience. The class was well-structured with theoretical parts and real life examples. 

Linda Schwarz, PR Manager and content strategist (see their LinkedIn)

Curiosity and learnability

You can apply if you are curious to learn and apply your learnings in how we design products, how we design the message, the content practices, and how we can commit to raising our own standards in our work regardless of our title or role.

If you have questions, write to me at vinishjg (at) gmail (dot) com and we can discuss.

Systems beyond content and design

  • Calls on Tuesday or Friday as we shall agree
  • Slack and Miro for discussions
  • Access to recordings of calls, and of Miro and Slack, for 30 days after the course is over

Only four of us

Learning for the Meaning

As individuals, you can prepare yourself by separating the work rewards from the rewards of learning. Our learnings add strength to our belief system and to our decisions framework.

“With time, we obviously gain knowledge, wisdom, and more data points to inform our power of intuition. We build confidence and networks, but we’re also creating blind spots.”

Miro

The Miro board where Vinish Garg hosts their product content strategy, content design, and UX Writing course.

We co-design is in Miro.

Slack

Vinish Garg is running a focused group on Slack for UX, design, content strategy, content design, UX writing, product management, and products in general.
