Services & Approach
As a freelance design researcher I offer a comprehensive set of services throughout the design process. My design approach is focused combining human-centered design practice with sustainable business transition. If your company is looking to innovate and provide value to your stakeholders that is planetray boundaries compliant I believe that I have the skills to assist in this transition. Below you can find the services I can provide to your design team or organization and the methods I use within my design process.
Design Research
I offer two forms of design research, generative and validatory. During generative research I utilize a design ethnographic approach built on gathering insights from creative communites that are the target stakeholders.
Prototyping
Build, test, repeat. Prototyping concepts that are built on insights from research is a key element of my design process. Having prototyped design material enables a more detailed and targeted conversation with stakeholders during testing. Prototyping in my process is an important form of storytelling that breathes life into concepts.
Design Strategy
It is vital to not only understand what to design but also why to implement it. My focus in design strategy is built on sustainable transitions. In my view it is just as important to understand what to take away through design as it is to create. My design process is informed by systems thinking, the Three Horizon Framework, and metadesign.
Planetary Boundary Design
Throughout my design process, it is my aim to make any product or service I work on planetary boundaries complient. I do this through the application of permaculture design ethics, principles of doughnut economics, and metadesign.
