This training is not fluffy, feel-good career advice that takes years to put into action. Motivational talks have their place, but this session is all about real, practical UX strategies you can start using immediately.
It’s not a glorified sales pitch. Full disclosure, there are opportunities to work with us further for those who are interested, but this session is a standalone training packed with actionable strategies you can implement immediately.
This also isn’t another AI session — sure, AI is changing the game, but this isn’t about chasing trends. It’s about building timeless UX skills that make you indispensable — AI or not.
Hi! I’m Sophia Prater, and I can’t wait to share these 20 potent, juicy strategies — distilled from a decade of teaching and practicing this craft. 🚀
I’ve been a UX designer for 16 years, speaker for 10, and coach for 5, helping designers level up their craft.
I’ve worked across enterprise, B2B, B2C — just about every industry. I’ve felt the overwhelm of staggering complexity with no time to process it. I know the soul-crushing frustration of designing in the dark — guessing, iterating, and guessing again — while scope and requirements shift daily under your feet.
My turning point? In 2012, I led UX for CNN.com’s election night — a pivotal experience that reshaped my thinking. (I’ll tell you all about the CANNOT-UNSEE mindset shifts during the training!)
In 2014, I took a massive gamble: I started my own company and completely reworked my UX practice. Since then, I’ve refined and proven it at Facebook, Mastercard, Atlassian, Autodesk, Delta, Microsoft, Adobe, and beyond.
I call my design philosophy Object-Oriented UX, and I can’t wait to share it — along with my ORCA Process, which you’ll soon learn ALL about.
I’ve taught thousands of designers, with hundreds completing my 10-week program — transforming their confidence, collaboration, and ability to solve hard problems. And I get it — because I experienced that same wild shift myself.
More than anything, I want you to fall (or re-fall) in love with UX. To see what’s possible in your career. To start doing deeper, more meaningful work ASAP. And God help us, to make technology a little more humane.
It’s time to dand start making more impact. Join us for this free live training and learn how to bring clarity to complexity, elevate your strategic thinking, and finally get the recognition you deserve.
