Sketching Success: Unleashing Creativity and Efficiency in UX with a Workshop
At the 2023 EPDD Summit, Included Health set out to deepen employee engagement and alignment around company goals through cross-functional workshops. One opportunity stood out—closing communication gaps between designers and non-designers. Engineers, managers, and project leads often struggled to express design ideas visually, leading to friction and misalignment.
I designed and facilitated a two-hour sketching workshop tailored for non-designers. The goal was to reduce anxiety around drawing and introduce sketching as a tool for faster, clearer communication. The session broke design flows down into simple shapes and patterns, making them accessible to teams without formal design training.
The syllabus walked participants through building low-fidelity wireframes, using real examples from their daily work. Emphasis was placed on confidence-building, hands-on learning, and practical takeaways they could immediately apply in design conversations.
