The Brief
What you'll do, and what you'll demonstrate.
Run a STRIDE threat model on a HealthTech patient-portal redesign and produce a defensible launch-blocking decision list.
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
- Apply STRIDE methodology to a real web-app architecture
- Draw data-flow diagrams with explicit trust boundaries
- Rank threats including regulatory-magnification factors
- Communicate launch-blocking decisions to a product audience
