Hire the Gold Standard of Google Ventures Design Sprint Facilitators; a former Google Product Designer trained by Jake Knapp

Hey – I’m Xander Pollock. I’m a digital product designer and Google Ventures Design Sprint facilitator based in Silicon Valley.  I have 10 years of experience in tech, from founding a startup that was acquired by Google to designing and launching new products for millions of users on the Google Maps and Gmail teams.

Today, I help companies align teams and build better products faster using Design Sprints.

Are you tired of long, unproductive brainstorming sessions with your team that yield nothing but a longer backlog and a mountain of post-its? Do you want an effective design for your project, but the mere thought of slogging through endless iterations and arguments leaves you feeling drained?

If you answered YES to these questions, then I have something that might just be your saving grace…

Introducing the "Design Sprint" - A Power-Packed 5-Day Service That Transforms Your Teams Ideas Into Highly Effective Prototypes that Get Answers in Record Time!

The Design Sprint isn't just some pretty package of flashy words. It's a proven, robust, lightning-fast process to get from a set of goals to a high-fidelity prototype in just 5 DAYS!

No more endless back-and-forth...no more guessing games or wishful thinking...and definitely NO MORE unnecessary delays and bloated costs.

By taking part in this revolution, you'll:

  1. Rapidly transform your rough idea into a tangible prototype.

  2. Validate your concept with REAL users and gain crucial feedback.

  3. Save boatloads of time, money, and resources.

  4. Be prepared to pitch your idea to investors, stakeholders, or your team with confidence and conviction.

Yes, you read that right.

All these outcomes in just 5 intense, focused days, rather than months of aimless wandering in the design wilderness.

It's hard to believe, I know. Some people think it's a "trend," but I'm here to prove otherwise.

Why not ask companies like Airbnb, Slack, Lego, Spotify, and countless startups who've used this method and achieved incredible success? They'll all tell you the same thing: This system works.

Look — this isn't for everybody.

This isn't designed for those who find comfort in endless deliberation, for those who believe more time equates to better outcomes. Nor is this for those who prefer to dance around their challenges instead of facing them head on, making bold decisions, and moving forward FAST.

This is for the driven doers & the daring businesses that don't just dream, but DO.

This is for those who are primed and ready to rapidly convert their vision into something tangible, who are eager to test, learn, and adapt in the pursuit of true innovation.

But Wait... What Exactly Do You Get Working with Me?

When you enlist my services, you're not just purchasing a process. You're investing in a future where your products shine brighter than a supernova in the constellation of the market.

Here's what your investment buys:

  1. Structured Decision-Making: No more endless debates. With a seasoned professional running your Design Sprint, you'll have a clear roadmap to effective decision-making.

  2. Rapid Prototyping: I will guide your team to create quick, real-life prototypes, giving you a tangible representation of your solution.

  3. User Testing: What's better than guessing what customers want? Knowing! You'll get real-time user feedback on your prototype – an invaluable asset that can't be measured in dollars and cents.

So, what do you say? Another round of aimless brainstorming and ambiguous designs? Or an action-packed, result-oriented expedition that takes you from idea to prototype in just 5 days? Turn your ideas into reality. Shape the future. And do it all in less time than it takes most people to return your email.

To your success,

Xander Pollock
Founder, Palo Alto Design Co.
