Recent projects
Ideation in the design process (Phase 1)
We are looking for assistance in a research project, where we want to study how designers transition iteratively from a problem space (user research) to a solution space (creating a product or a service) when working on a project that involves research (user research, comparative research, literature search, etc.). With this project, we wish to create resources to help professional and student designers during this process. We believe this project will include: A literature review of this topic An inventory and a comparative analysis of existing tools and resources The creation of tools and resources. Potentially a publication or a presentation for that phase of the research After this phase of the project is completed, the tools created will be used in an educational setting to study how they are used by designers and how they affect their design process.
Ideation in the design process (Phase 2)
We are looking for assistance in a research project, where we want to study ideation in design and how designers transition iteratively from a problem space (user research) to a solution space (creating a product or a service) when working on a project that involves research (user research, comparative research, literature search, etc.). With this project, we wish to create resources to help professional and student designers during this process. We believe this project will include: Readings on the methods Exploration and creation of tools and methods (using existing methods and creating new ones, helping students in their ideation process. After this phase of the project is completed, the tools created will be used in an educational setting to study how they are used by designers and how they affect their design process.
