Hi {Manager Name},
I’m writing to you about a course called Data-Driven Design that I’d love to enroll in using my learning & development budget. The course is on Designlab, a platform that’s trained thousands of UX / UI / Product Designers who work at companies like Netflix, Amazon, and Google.The course is designed to:
- Improve my ability to propose and construct experiments that help benchmark and measure the value of design improvements
- Strengthen my ability to use data when making design recommendations and prioritize the product backlog
- Be a better partner to data-oriented stakeholders around the organization
The course format was specifically set up with working designers in mind, and is a mix of asynchronous lessons, hands-on project work, and weekly peer group sessions facilitated by an expert in data-driven design. These peer group sessions will not only allow me to get direct feedback on my work, but also network and learn from peer designers at other organizations.The course costs 999 USD, and you can check out the course details here.
