Your team has great ideas. They just can't agree on
‍which one to build.

WANDR facilitates design thinking workshops that take cross-functional teams from misalignment and stalled momentum to clear priorities, shared direction, and actionable next steps in one or two days.

Design Thinking Workshops Trusted by Adobe, the U.S. Air Force, and Poshmark

We've facilitated design thinking workshops across 50+ major organizations over a decade, from early-stage startup founders to U.S. Air Force teams and Fortune 500 product organizations. After that many sessions, we know exactly where workshops break down and we've built our entire process around preventing it. Most workshop facilitators are generalists. We are product designers and UX strategists first, which means every exercise we run is grounded in how products actually get built, how teams actually make decisions, and what clarity actually looks like when a room of 15+ people needs to agree on something hard. We don't end workshops with a wall of sticky notes. We end with clearly defined problem statements, prioritized opportunities, and assigned next steps, so the momentum from the session carries directly into your product, design, and engineering work the following week.

Sticky.io

95%Satisfaction score on the redesigned prototype with legacy users.

A complex platform serving two very different buyer types — with no UX/UI on staff. Zero personas. Zero validated flows. In 3 months we established design operations, built a design system from scratch, and redesigned the merchant and admin interfaces.

WANDR workshop data
Our design thinking workshop process

We don't run brainstorms. We facilitate decisions.

Every workshop is designed around the specific challenge your team is facing, not a generic agenda pulled from a template. We define the right format, the right exercises, and the right outcomes before anyone enters the room.

01

Workshop Planning & Format.

We define the right format upfront (one-day or multi-day, remote or in-person) based on your team's goals, size, and constraints. Every exercise is chosen for your specific situation, not recycled from a previous client.

02

Problem Framing & Alignment.

We align your team on the core problem, key assumptions, and success criteria before jumping into solutions. This step alone prevents most of the circular debates that kill workshop momentum.

03

Structured Ideation.

Guided exercises help generate focused, high-impact ideas grounded in real product and business constraints, not abstract brainstorming that produces 200 sticky notes and zero priorities.

04

Prototyping & Exploration.

Key ideas are turned into simple prototypes, flows, or Pecha Kucha presentations, making them tangible and easier for your team to evaluate, challenge, and build on.

05

Synthesis & Next Steps.

We distill insights, define clear next steps, and assign ownership  so the momentum from the workshop carries directly into your product, design, and engineering work the week after.

What our clients say

Verified Clutch reviews.

“

Their ability to understand our unique business was very impressive. We have a fairly complex business model and were concerned that they wouldn't be able to understand it enough to create an effective design — but they quickly built an understanding of who we are.

Marc YountPresident & CCO · Field Agent

“

They wanted to see our company succeed and celebrated our wins with us. We could see they were invested in the project — they didn't just want to collect their fee and move on. By the time WANDR finished, they helped us get to 500 downloads on Android.

We were impressed with their ability to problem-solve and to conform to extremely tight timelines. The Wandr team successfully deployed product and provided support through the run of show during SXSW.

Why Wandr?

Design Thinking Workshops That End With Decisions, Not Sticky Notes.

01 · Seniority

Product designers, not generic facilitators.

We are UX strategists and product designers first, which means every exercise we run is grounded in how products actually get built and how teams actually make decisions. We don't bring a generic workshop playbook. We bring a decade of product design experience into every room we facilitate.

02 · Evidence

TRUSTED BY TEAMS WITH NO PATIENCE TO THEORY

Adobe chose us to represent design thinking to their own founder community. The U.S. Air Force brought us back across multiple teams. Poshmark's leadership spent two full days working through their 10-year vision with us. These aren't organizations that tolerate workshops that don't deliver.

03 · Guarantee

he same framework behind every WANDR engagement.

Our design thinking workshop methodology is not a separate offering. It's how we start every client engagement at WANDR. Every product we've designed, every MVP we've shipped, every audit we've delivered started with this framework. That's not a credential. That's a track record.

The difference

Same team. A shared direction they can actually execute on.

Buildbox came to us with a no-code game development platform used by millions — but with friction that was costing them activation. Here's what changed.

Before redesign
After redesign
Before the workshop:After the workshop:
Before the workshop:
  • ✕Strategy feels abstract and disconnected from what engineering is actually building
  • ✕Stakeholders disagree on priorities — every meeting restarts the same debate
  • ✕Great ideas exist across the team but nothing moves forward because nobody owns anything
  • ✕Product, design, and engineering are solving different versions of the same problem
After the workshop:
  • ✓Clearly defined problem statement that the entire team — product, design, engineering, leadership — agrees on
  • ✓Prioritized opportunity areas tied to business goals and user needs, not personal preference
  • ✓Early solution concepts with assigned owners and a clear path to execution
  • ✓Momentum that carries into the following week — because the workshop ended with next steps, not a PDF
This is what every WANDR design thinking workshop delivers, ·regardless of whether you're a 3-person startup or a cross-functional enterprise team.
Who this is for

Every confusing onboarding flow, every feature users can't find, every drop-off that analytics shows but nobody can explain — is a product decision that didn't start with the user.

We work with CTOs, Heads of Product, and founders who know their product has more potential than the current experience is delivering. Whether you're dealing with low activation, high churn, a pending redesign, or a new product that needs to ship right the first time — we're the team that starts with your users and designs backward from there.

Frequently asked.

  1. UI/UX design services cover the full process of understanding users, defining the right solution, and designing experiences that are intuitive, functional, and aligned with business goals. At Wandr, our services span UX research and insights, strategy and roadmapping, wireframing and prototyping, UI design and design systems, usability testing, and post-launch iteration. The right mix depends on where you are in the product lifecycle.
  2. The short answer: whenever product decisions start to carry real business risk. That typically means when you're building something new, scaling a product that's underperforming, preparing for a redesign, or trying to understand why users aren't adopting a feature that should be working.
  3. In-house designers work within a single product context. A UI/UX design agency brings cross-product experience, an outside perspective, and a senior team ready to move immediately — without the cost and risk of hiring. At Wandr specifically, you get senior-level product thinking from day one, we challenge assumptions and push back when something doesn't make sense, we embed into your existing workflows, and you can scale up or down as needs change without long-term headcount commitment.
  4. We embed senior UX professionals who combine research, strategy, and execution from day one. Quality is maintained through frequent feedback loops, usability testing with real users, and continuous stakeholder alignment — not a single reveal at the end. Every design decision is validated before development begins.
  5. After launch, we continue working alongside your team to analyze real user behavior, identify friction points, and optimize the experience as your product evolves. This includes reviewing performance data, running additional usability tests, and iterating on design based on what users actually do — not what we assumed they would.
  6. We measure UX success by product outcomes, not opinions or aesthetics. That typically includes user behavior metrics (activation, retention, conversion, task completion), reduced friction (fewer drop-offs, errors, and support tickets), and business impact (adoption, engagement, and revenue influence). UX is successful when it helps teams make better decisions faster and build products users actually adopt.
  7. UX works best when embedded directly into your existing product, engineering, and data workflows — not handed off at the end. At Wandr, our designers operate inside your workflows from discovery through delivery. That means product gets clarified problems and pressure-tested ideas, engineering gets design decisions that account for technical constraints early, and data gets qualitative insights that validate assumptions and guide iteration.
  8. If your product doesn't show measurable improvement in your primary UX metric within 90 days of launch, we keep working at no additional cost until it does. We agree on the success criteria at kickoff — activation rate, retention, task completion, conversion — so there's no ambiguity about what we're working toward.
