Stay up to date:

Better design thinking

Faster design decisions

More dates with attractive people

Mastery of the whiteboard

Dynamite interview skills

Happiness and success in all your endeavors

Works best with a friend and a whiteboard, but you can designercize on a screen too. Keep challenges short enough to complete over your lunch break. Do one every day for best results.

Here's an instruction manual (v: @teachang + @_echoi_), based on the original instruction manual (v: @mollyinglish).

Origin story

Designercize is a digital version of an analog whiteboard exercise originally created by Kate Rutter and Laura Klein to help designers improve whiteboarding, interviewing, and design thinking skills. It's been honed over thousands of practice sessions with Tradecraft designers.

Colophon

The designercize app was created by Tradecraft design instructors Zac & Jake, because we <3 you. Bespoke fonts, handcrafted by Jake, are obtainable here.

Zac Halbert "All that to say, this is bad."

Jake Fleming "Uh, no. Bad. Bad design."

Special thanks

Inspired by TypeCooker. Engineering support by Patrick Burd, writing + comedic support by Megan Kard, and early explorations by Jonathan Kuei. And a special thanks to all the guinea pig beta testers in the Tradecraft design community.
