What you'll learn

Problem Framing

Before: A founder hands you a messy brief and you’re unsure where to start.

After: You can break down ambiguous problems, define clear goals, and turn chaos into a structured path forward.

Product & Business Thinking

Before: You design polished screens… but struggle to justify why they solve the business need.

After: You connect design decisions to product outcomes, tradeoffs, and metrics, the way high-level product teams expect.

User Understanding

Before: You rely on assumptions or generic personas and hope it’s “close enough.”

After: You use rapid research and AI-powered insights to understand user needs, behaviors, and context so you can design with clarity.

Opportunity Mapping

Before: You see user problems, but the path forward still feels overwhelming or ambiguous.

After: You can evaluate the landscape, map real user context, and identify high-impact opportunities that guide a focused, strategic solution.

Rapid Prototyping with AI

Before: It takes days to turn ideas into something testable.

After: You prototype confidently and quickly using modern AI tools, exploring more ideas in less time.

Scrappy User Testing

Before: You wait for “proper” user research and miss critical feedback.

After: You validate ideas fast with lightweight testing methods so you can refine direction early and avoid costly misalignment.

Designing Like a Builder

Before: You could design the screens, but shipping stopped at prototypes and technical workflows felt out of reach.

After: You design, build, and ship. You move from screens to working product by pushing code, deploying real features, and understanding the constraints that come with production. (No coding knowledge required)

Presenting Outcomes

Before: You finish the design… but presenting it feels stressful and unclear.

After: You walk stakeholders through your solution with confidence, logic, and clear product rationale, the way modern product teams expect.

Yes, in just 2 weeks.

In collaboration with real AI startups

Each sprint is co-led with a partner AI startup, giving designers hands-on experience solving real product challenges alongside founders, PMs, and engineers building next-generation tools.

Who it's for

Designers who want more than theory.

Those who want real product experience, real mentorship, and real work they can confidently show in interviews.

Designers who know UX basics but lack real product experience.
Mid-level designers who want practice running fast, focused product sprints.
Career starters with one or two case studies that don’t feel strong enough.
People transitioning into product design who already understand the fundamentals.

"Worth every late night. If you're on the fence about it, just go for it."

María Victoria CorreboUX Designer (Barcelona 🇪🇸)
"This sprint reminded me how much I love what I do, and how powerful design can be when it connects to real human needs 💜.
✨ Just wrapped up the Yummy Labs & Design Studio Product Design Accelerator Sprint ✨ Two super intense (and honestly, amazing) weeks designing alongside a startup that’s rethinking how people find a home — making the process more human, emotional, and real. The program (led with the ex-CPO of Tinder 👀) really pushed me to think beyond pixels — to design with empathy, trust, and purpose. It reminded me that design is not just about building features, but about creating meaning."

"Worth every late night. If you're on the fence about it, just go for it.
As a Frontend Developer, I've always focused on building interfaces that work, functionality and clean code. This sprint showed me the real magic: start with real people and their emotions, then build solutions that connect, not just function. 🤯 That's the power of UX/UI. Turns out, when you find the right user flow, you find YOUR flow too. 💥

Harry Dodd-IrwinDesigner & Developer (London 🇬🇧)
"I’m not usually a “course” person. I prefer to dive in and learn by doing. But this was different.
Yummy Labs didn’t tell us what to design; they taught us how to think like product designers and get something into users’ hands quickly for feedback. Over two weeks we defined user pain points, built lightweight personas, mapped messy journeys, and turned ideas into a working MVP for a stealth AI startup founded by Mark V. (former CPO at Tinder). My sleep schedule’s wrecked, but my process is sharper and my design thinking’s leveled up."
