Your team has great ideas. They just can't agree on
‍which one to build.

WANDR facilitates design thinking workshops that take cross-functional teams from misalignment and stalled momentum to clear priorities, shared direction, and actionable next steps in one or two days.

Design Thinking Workshops Trusted by Adobe, the U.S. Air Force, and Poshmark

We've facilitated design thinking workshops across 50+ major organizations over a decade, from early-stage startup founders to U.S. Air Force teams and Fortune 500 product organizations. After that many sessions, we know exactly where workshops break down and we've built our entire process around preventing it. Most workshop facilitators are generalists. We are product designers and UX strategists first, which means every exercise we run is grounded in how products actually get built, how teams actually make decisions, and what clarity actually looks like when a room of 15+ people needs to agree on something hard. We don't end workshops with a wall of sticky notes. We end with clearly defined problem statements, prioritized opportunities, and assigned next steps, so the momentum from the session carries directly into your product, design, and engineering work the following week.

95%Satisfaction score on the redesigned prototype with legacy users.

A complex platform serving two very different buyer types — with no UX/UI on staff. Zero personas. Zero validated flows. In 3 months we established design operations, built a design system from scratch, and redesigned the merchant and admin interfaces.

WANDR workshop data
Our design thinking workshop process

We don't run brainstorms. We facilitate decisions.

Every workshop is designed around the specific challenge your team is facing, not a generic agenda pulled from a template. We define the right format, the right exercises, and the right outcomes before anyone enters the room.

01

Workshop Planning & Format.

We define the right format upfront (one-day or multi-day, remote or in-person) based on your team's goals, size, and constraints. Every exercise is chosen for your specific situation, not recycled from a previous client.

02

Problem Framing & Alignment.

We align your team on the core problem, key assumptions, and success criteria before jumping into solutions. This step alone prevents most of the circular debates that kill workshop momentum.

03

Structured Ideation.

Guided exercises help generate focused, high-impact ideas grounded in real product and business constraints, not abstract brainstorming that produces 200 sticky notes and zero priorities.

04

Prototyping & Exploration.

Key ideas are turned into simple prototypes, flows, or Pecha Kucha presentations, making them tangible and easier for your team to evaluate, challenge, and build on.

05

Synthesis & Next Steps.

We distill insights, define clear next steps, and assign ownership  so the momentum from the workshop carries directly into your product, design, and engineering work the week after.

What our clients say

Verified Clutch reviews.

“

Their ability to understand our unique business was very impressive. We have a fairly complex business model and were concerned that they wouldn't be able to understand it enough to create an effective design — but they quickly built an understanding of who we are.

Marc YountPresident & CCO · Field Agent

“

They wanted to see our company succeed and celebrated our wins with us. We could see they were invested in the project — they didn't just want to collect their fee and move on. By the time WANDR finished, they helped us get to 500 downloads on Android.

We were impressed with their ability to problem-solve and to conform to extremely tight timelines. The Wandr team successfully deployed product and provided support through the run of show during SXSW.

Why Wandr?

Design Thinking Workshops That End With Decisions, Not Sticky Notes.

01 · Seniority

Product designers, not generic facilitators.

We are UX strategists and product designers first, which means every exercise we run is grounded in how products actually get built and how teams actually make decisions. We don't bring a generic workshop playbook. We bring a decade of product design experience into every room we facilitate.

02 · Evidence

TRUSTED BY TEAMS WITH NO PATIENCE TO THEORY

Adobe chose us to represent design thinking to their own founder community. The U.S. Air Force brought us back across multiple teams. Poshmark's leadership spent two full days working through their 10-year vision with us. These aren't organizations that tolerate workshops that don't deliver.

03 · Guarantee

THE SAME FRAMEWORK BEHIND EVERY WANDR ENGAGEMENT

Our design thinking workshop methodology is not a separate offering. It's how we start every client engagement at WANDR. Every product we've designed, every MVP we've shipped, every audit we've delivered started with this framework. That's not a credential. That's a track record.

The difference

Same team. A shared direction they can actually execute on.

Buildbox came to us with a no-code game development platform used by millions — but with friction that was costing them activation. Here's what changed.

Before redesign
After redesign
Before the workshop:After the workshop:
Before the workshop:
  • ✕Strategy feels abstract and disconnected from what engineering is actually building
  • ✕Stakeholders disagree on priorities — every meeting restarts the same debate
  • ✕Great ideas exist across the team but nothing moves forward because nobody owns anything
  • ✕Product, design, and engineering are solving different versions of the same problem
After the workshop:
  • ✓Clearly defined problem statement that the entire team — product, design, engineering, leadership — agrees on
  • ✓Prioritized opportunity areas tied to business goals and user needs, not personal preference
  • ✓Early solution concepts with assigned owners and a clear path to execution
  • ✓Momentum that carries into the following week — because the workshop ended with next steps, not a PDF
This is what every WANDR design thinking workshop delivers, ·regardless of whether you're a 3-person startup or a cross-functional enterprise team.
Who this is for

You understand that the most expensive thing in a product organization isn't bad design… it's misalignment. Every week your team spends debating the wrong question, rebuilding something that could have been decided in a room, or shipping something nobody agrees  was the right priority is a week of runway you don't get back.

We work with Innovation Leaders, VPs of Product and founders who know their team is capable  and just needs a structured session to get everyone pointing in the same direction. Whether you're kicking off a new product, realigning after a pivot, or breaking a strategic deadlock, a design thinking workshop is the fastest path from ambiguity to momentum.

Design Thinking Workshops

Frequently asked.

Click any question to expand. If yours isn't here, write to us.

  1. Workshops work best with cross-functional teams — including product managers, designers, engineers, and leadership. For product development specifically, having both technical and strategic stakeholders in the same room leads to stronger, more executable outcomes. The right mix depends on the challenge — we'll help you determine who needs to be in the room during planning.
  2. Participants engage in structured activities including problem framing, ideation, prototyping, and synthesis. Each activity is designed to move product and development teams toward clarity and actionable decisions — not abstract takeaways. Our Poshmark 2-day offsite ran Future Mapping, BHAG definition, How Might We exercises, Crazy 8s, and Pecha Kucha pitch presentations. Our Adobe sessions combined design thinking methodology with live prototyping in Adobe XD. Every agenda is built for the specific team and challenge.
  3. Workshops range from a half day to multiple days, depending on the complexity of the challenge and how many teams are involved. Product strategy workshops typically run one to two full days. Multi-team enterprise alignment workshops may run two to three days. We define the right format during planning — not based on what's easiest to schedule, but on what the challenge actually requires.
  4. You can run design thinking workshops internally, especially if your team has strong facilitation skills and shared context. Internal workshops work well for incremental improvements or when teams are already aligned. External facilitators are most valuable when stakes are high, alignment is weak, or when product and development teams are moving in different directions. A neutral facilitator brings objectivity, challenges assumptions teams may overlook, and keeps conversations focused on outcomes rather than internal politics. Adobe, the U.S. Air Force, and Poshmark all chose external facilitation — and all came back for additional sessions.
  5. Generic brainstorming produces ideas. WANDR workshops produce decisions. Every exercise is tied to a real product challenge, business constraint, or development priority — and every session ends with clear ownership and next steps your team can act on immediately. We are product designers and UX strategists first — which means the outcomes of our workshops are designed to flow directly into product, design, and engineering work, not sit in a deck nobody opens.
  6. Design thinking workshops support product strategy by helping teams clarify goals, evaluate assumptions, and align around priorities before execution begins. They create shared understanding across product, engineering, and leadership — and reduce the risk of building the wrong thing by surfacing the hardest questions before resources are committed. Our Poshmark workshop defined a 10-year BHAG and surfaced the specific challenges preventing it — giving the leadership team a strategic foundation they could execute from immediately.
  7. High energy, structured, and outcome-driven. Our workshops are facilitated by WANDR's senior leadership — including founder and CEO Jinny Oh, who personally facilitated the Poshmark leadership offsite and multiple Adobe and U.S. Air Force sessions. We bring the same rigor we apply to product design to every workshop we run. If you give us the room, we'll give you clarity.
