Human Centered Design
Opportunity Mining
This project entailed holding an Empathy Interview in order to identify an area of “pain” for the respondent. From the interview, I had to identify problems and opportunities for improvements through the process of developing a Point of View Statement and a How Might We Question.
Brain Hacking / Ideation
Using Ideation Tools and Methods such as LUMIAMI, the Kipling Method and Cliche-Storming, I brainstormed ideas and potential solutions that could address my human centered problem.
Prototyping and Solution
Utilizing ‘bundling” to organize my ideation into collections I began to develop strategies and concepts that could address the “problem”. I developed a prototyping plan which evolved into a prototype which I tested, revised, analyzed and presented.
