Are you ready to step into the world of UX design? Whether you’re already studying design, fancy a change of career, or just curious about how great digital experiences are made  – this workshop is for you.

Kickstart your Career: An Intro to Design is an immersive, fast-paced introduction to UX and design thinking, where you’ll take part in a day long design sprint, led by experienced designers from the Sky Sports team. You’ll learn how to tackle real-world problems using user-centred design, all whilst building practical skills that can help launch your design journey.

  • Learn by doing – work through a quick-fire design sprint, from problem framing to prototyping.
  • Get expert guidance – our workshop leads will support you at every stage of the sprint.
  • Showcase your thinking – wrap up the day by presenting your ideas and reflecting on the process.

Whether you’re aiming for a career in design or just want to explore your creative side, this session will give you a strong foundation – and something tangible to talk about in interviews or portfolios.
