Fluid Hive Design Courses
Courses that help people create services and solutions by thinking and solving like a designer.
When you need to create new services, invent new products, transform systems, or lead innovation? You need to think and solve like a designer.
I created Fluid Hive’s Design Courses to help. Each course is build around something you’re already great at: asking questions. In Fluid Hive courses, you’ll learn each topic by learning the questions experts ask, how to answer them, and how to turn your answers into great outcomes. I’m with you all the way in videos full of step-by-step learning. Cheers ~ Dawan

President, Fluid Hive
Meet Dawan, Your Instructor
I help people think and solve like a designer.
My big question at Fluid Hive: How might we build better ways to create and innovate by thinking and solving like a designer?
Fluid Hive Design Skills Courses are one answer. Fluid Hive’s Question-based Learning and Practice inside each course are more answers.
When someone listens to the Design Thinking 101 Podcast, attends a Fluid Hive work shop or event, or engages us as a consultant or adviser, I’m answering that question.
I hope you’ll join me in a Fluid Hive course so I can help you find new ways to answer your big question.
