The Brief
What you'll do, and what you'll demonstrate.
How can StyleNow design a cost-effective supplier sustainability audit program that reduces risk, improves labor and environmental practices, and aligns with industry standards like the Higg Index?
This is not a design exercise. It is the work a product designer does between a brief and a shipped interface. That distinction matters to every hiring manager who has seen candidates redesign Spotify's homepage and none who have worked under real product constraints.
When you finish, you will have something most graduates do not: a real-world deliverable, verified by Ewance, that you can show to a hiring manager and say "I did this. Here is the proof."
Earning criteria — what you'll demonstrate
- Design a supplier audit program aligned with global sustainability standards
- Develop a weighted scorecard to evaluate supplier ESG performance
- Understand trade-offs between cost and sustainability in sourcing decisions
- Communicate sustainability initiatives to executive stakeholders
