• 2. Co‑Construction of the Product
• Work collaboratively with Workshop users to translate qualitative insights into clear product expectations.
• Facilitate co‑design sessions to validate early concepts, prioritize value, and ensure the product naturally integrates into the Workshop's daily operations.
• Partner with UX/UI teams to shape initial journeys, wireframes, and experience principles.
