At the Siebel Center for Design, we believe that Human-Centered Design (HCD) is a powerful tool for driving innovation, solving complex challenges, and enhancing learning experiences across industries. Our professional development programs empower educators, professionals, and organizations with the skills, resources, and community needed to integrate HCD principles into their work. Whether you are an educator looking to create more engaging, student-centered curricula, a professional seeking to apply design thinking to your industry, or a school administrator working to build a culture of innovation, our programs provide structured, hands-on learning experiences tailored to your goals.

Through SHIFT, Design Forward, and the Human-Centered Schools Network, participants gain practical HCD expertise, collaborate with a dynamic network of peers, and develop real-world applications for human-centered problem-solving. Our programs are designed to be flexible, impactful, and rooted in best practices—equipping you with the confidence and tools to drive meaningful change in your classroom, workplace, or community. Explore our professional development opportunities and join a growing movement of forward-thinking leaders shaping the future through human-centered innovation.
