This process mirrors what we take our own company through.

I loved the process you took everyone through… that first week of deep thinking is always the hardest part of startup life. Designers want to jump into Figma, but real product work starts with clarity. Even as a seasoned designer, I still feel that insecurity of ‘I don’t have anything to show yet.’ You were so thoughtful and intentional in guiding them through the messy, strategic work… looking at constraints, competitors, and the real problem. That’s the hard part, and you nailed it.

"This sprint taught me how to design with empathy while leveraging AI to accelerate clarity, decision-making, and innovation, without losing the human touch.

During the sprint, I designed and tested AI-powered interaction patterns for an end-to-end home discovery experience. I also used AI-driven prototyping to build and iterate in real-time with actual users, and worked across research, UX strategy, and product design to shape solutions with measurable business impact. Looking forward to the next collaboration. ✨"

"I’m not usually a “course” person. I prefer to dive in and learn by doing. But this was different.

Yummy Labs didn’t tell us what to design; they taught us how to think like product designers and get something into users’ hands quickly for feedback. Over two weeks we defined user pain points, built lightweight personas, mapped messy journeys, and turned ideas into a working MVP for a stealth AI startup founded by Mark V. (former CPO at Tinder). My sleep schedule’s wrecked, but my process is sharper and my design thinking’s leveled up."
