Carmen Rincon — Co-Founder

Most design education is theoretical. Most startup roadmaps are blocked. We work in the gap between the two. We founded Yummy Labs as a design accelerator built around access, not speculation. Instead of fake portfolio briefs, startups invite designers behind the scenes of real product teams. They share real constraints, and real problems. Giving designers conditions that actually resemble the job. How it works We run intensive 2-week sprints where selected designers collaborate closely with high-growth startups. Startups open their product context, pressure points, and decision-making process. Designers learn by operating inside those constraints (all within the yummy labs community) For Designers You stop designing imaginary apps and start solving real product problems under real pressure. You practice prioritization, trade-offs, and execution in an environment that mirrors modern product teams. You leave with experience you can explain, defend, and stand behind. For Startups You get sharp outside perspective on live product challenges, and help train designers in the realities of modern product work. For companies that need deeper, longer-term work, we operate Yummy Design, our dedicated studio. From rapid sprints to ongoing partnerships, our goal is the same. Build products users trust, adopt, and want to come back to.
