Training and Education Powered by Information Architecture

We teach people how to approach complexity and design digital places that are resilient and intuitive.

We live in a modern world where digital transformation drives business transformation. With TUG, the world is a better place when we use our skills and expertise to bring clarity to people working with these complex systems. Driven by over ten years of success with companies, large and small, TUG has taken on the assignment of sharing our expertise through teaching others. We want to pass our understanding on to you.


Workshops

We've designed our workshops to teach the discipline and show the value of information architecture (IA) in practical ways. Our workshops and events help your team learn new skills to bring more clarity to the complexity of your work.
