Welcome to the service design course hub. Below you’ll find resources from past sessions and hands-on projects you can get involved with, as well as a quick and easy way to reach Shad to go over project specifics. By the end of the Service Design module at Newspeak House, you’ll be not only be able to speak confidently on Service Design, but be able to design and build to change outcomes for users of your own projects.
