Well-crafted design principles can keep design and product teams moving confidently in the right direction through moments of ambiguity and change. They help clarify the vision, sharpen priorities, and scale thoughtful decision-making. But who writes them? And how?

As experts in communication and design, content pros have the ideal skills to drive the creation of clear, actionable design principles. This workshop offers tools for transforming unspoken assumptions into powerful principles expressed through thoughtful language. The goal is to empower you to improve outcomes and expand your influence by focusing on the foundational words behind the design.  

You’ll get hands-on practice and ready-to-use tactics to help you:

• Lead exercises to help your team identify core working principles.
• Distinguish between useful principles and vague platitudes.
• Express principles using crisp and memorable language.
• Craft a strategy for building alignment and getting approvals.
• Use principles as a tool for generating, prioritizing, and evaluating designs.
