Design Thinking for Writers: Create a Compelling Character

What if you could remain true to your own creative vision while also testing the impact of your choices on your audience? What if you didn’t have to draft scene after scene only to find out that one of your foundational assumptions was slightly off course?

In this course, instructor Naomi Kinsman shows you how to create a character concept that an audience will love. Borrow tools and mindsets from the worlds of design thinking and improv theater, including the belief that when you fail faster, you have a better chance of succeeding. If you’re a writer, brand strategist, illustrator, animator, or any kind of narrative artist, and if you want to know from day one that the character you’re working on will connect with your audience, this course is an ideal fit for you.

This course was created by Skillshare. We are pleased to host this training in our library.
