There are many brilliant designers in the graphic design industry, but it's hard to find women role models to aspire to. These women are not only insightful about their craft, they clearly have a firm grasp on what design thinking truly means.
Practicing Design Studio Method: a hands-on workshopNicole Capuana
An overview of Design Studio Method, why and how you facilitate a session, and a real-world problem from a Cleveland start-up to practice on. Additional resources to understand Design Studio Method.
Design Studio method is a collaborative thinking and design exercise that is used to quickly generate many ideas to solving particular design challenges. It involves sketching, critique and refinements to surface a diverse set of possibilities.
This will be a hands-on workshop to solve a design challenge for one of Cleveland’s growing startups. We will break into teams and you will learn how, when and why to use the Design Studio method.

The 3 Cs of Design: Charters, Critique, and CultureRuss U
I’ve worked for a lot of idiot managers in my career. And then, one day, after I had become a design manager myself, it finally dawned on me: Now I’m the idiot! I had a lot of ideas about what a good manager is, how one acts, and the exact positioning of where the spotlight should land on the hero, which was absolutely supposed to be me. Thanks, ego.
Heroically speaking, I failed on many, many levels. I didn’t understand how to understand a team, and help turn their perceptions and expectations into something shared and agreed upon. I didn’t understand how to foster critique; I only knew that I was in charge of design and that I had the final say. Most of my career has been an exercise in “trial by fire” and this process worked well when I was a designer and was trying to master the art of the task flow, site map, wireframe, prototype, personas, and so on. In leadership positions, the option to go back to the drawing board or to iterate hasn't always been readily available--nor as painless to my pride and potentially my pocketbook.
The passing of time, the second and third chances that I’ve been given, and the sound advice that I didn’t want to listen to in the past have opened me up to a much different perspective. Oh, I’ve still got plenty to learn, and I’m excited to share some of what I’ve learned about charters, critique, and culture of design organizations.
The document discusses project planning and scheduling. It covers topics like work breakdown structure, project time scheduling, network diagrams, critical path method, Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT), Gantt charts, and key terms used in project management like activities, milestones, float, baselines. Project planning involves preparing schedules of activities, resources, capital, and mitigation plans. Work breakdown structure is used to divide large projects into simpler, more manageable components. Network diagrams and critical path method are used to schedule project activities and identify the critical path. PERT uses three time estimates to calculate expected activity durations. Gantt charts graphically show project schedules and status.
UX and marketing research teams should work together more closely to better understand customers and improve products. While their methods differ, with marketing focusing on surveys and opinions and UX focusing on observation, their goals of advocating for customers are aligned. Marketing research can inform UX work by providing insights on customer segments and validating findings, while UX can provide context and test hypotheses. The teams should collaborate more by sharing findings and leveraging each other's complementary skills to solve problems through the most appropriate research methods.
The first prototype of our approaches to move beyond design thinking at DNA. Touching on a number of new tools and techniques as well as theoretical positions from a number of sources. Very much the bleeding edge of our current position.
Visual Frameworks to Drive Innovation ProcessesRoberta Tassi
Designing complex services involving a large number of actors and many different channels (like healthcare services) can benefit from the use of visual frameworks to help drive and accelerate design processes.
The Backpack Plus project (frog + UNICEF) is a tangible example of how a visual framework can help designing a comprehensive systemic solution, and evolve across the different stages of the design process.
Information Design Matters, London 2014
This document discusses designing futures through public engagement and co-creation. It emphasizes engaging communities to connect and co-design more durable and human-centered visions of the future, rather than focusing on isolated prediction, disruption, or innovation. Examples are given of projects that use foresight, speculative design, and public engagement to explore future possibilities. The overall message is that the future is best approached by involving people in shaping it together.

There are two main approaches to film editing: continuity editing and discontinuity editing. Continuity editing emphasizes smooth, coherent transitions between shots to tell a narrative in an invisible way, while discontinuity editing emphasizes differences between shots and calls attention to itself by creating new meaning through juxtaposition of individual shots. Both aim to manipulate time and space but in different ways - continuity seeks temporal and spatial continuity and illusion, while discontinuity violates expectations of continuity.
Designing for Multi-touchpoint ExperiencesJamin Hegeman
Want to help your team and stakeholders develop a mindset for designing and delivering multi-touchpoint service experiences before getting caught up in constraints and requirements? Could you use a fun, experience-driven method to level the playing field and get multidisciplinary teams working together to generate ideas?
During the first part of this service experience workshop, we’ll use an acting method called ‘service storming’ to rapidly generate ideas for a service concept across multiple touchpoints. This simple, but powerful tool will help teams cover a wide range of experiences in a short time period.
After acting out some service experiences, we’ll focus on making them operational. For this, we will turn to the service blueprint, a service design tool that helps you capture experience across time and touchpoints in a way that many teams and stakeholders can understand and design from.
Together, these tools will help you and your teams develop a service mindset, work better across disciplines, and move from ideation to execution of multi-touchpoint service experiences.
What you’ll get in this workshop:
A great team building exercise that gets people thinking outside of the box, screen, or whatever constrains them
An introduction to service storming, a great ideation method that using acting as a way to generate and communication service concepts
An introduction to service blueprints, an operational tool used to visualize the touchpoints and backend systems needed to realize service experiences

Presentation from my lecture on Magdalena design festival. May 2013.Rodion Arsenyev
This document discusses design thinking and the design process. It argues that the traditional artifact-oriented design process, where the designer focuses only on creating the object, is flawed. A better approach is experience-oriented design, where the designer focuses first on designing scenarios of how people will interact with and experience a product. The key is for designers to truly care about and empathize with the people who will use their designs. The document presents examples to illustrate how starting with experience leads to more useful designs compared to starting with the object alone.
This document provides an excerpt from slides for a 2-3 day professional training on design thinking and innovation management. The slides cover the basics of design thinking, including its origins and nature, how it is portrayed in the media, and how it relates to strategic thinking. Design thinking is presented as a way to take an outside-in perspective focused on customer needs and experiences to drive value creation and innovation. The training is intended to help participants better understand design thinking and apply it to innovating without unrealistic expectations. The facilitator also provides strategy advisory and training on other topics beyond design thinking.

Design Thinking for Startups - Are You Design Driven?Amir Khella
This document discusses design thinking and how startups can integrate it into their process. It defines design thinking as combining creative and analytical thinking to solve problems. It recommends that startups (1) involve everyone in design thinking, not just designers, (2) deeply understand the problem to be solved, (3) create prototypes and get feedback to refine the solution, and (4) hire "T-shaped" individuals with skills across disciplines and encourage cross-training. The document emphasizes that design thinking is about understanding people and that anyone can be a good design thinker.
Come see examples of how not engaging your whole team in the design process, avoiding usability testing and knowing more than your users will lead to delivering a poor product. But be careful, you may leave motivated to do just the opposite.
This document discusses the concept of "no-thing" as it relates to chair design. Some key points:
1) "No-thing" represents reducing chairs to their basic concept of being something to sit on, without focusing on specific designs or objects.
2) The document criticizes excessive chair design as being driven by vanity rather than need, and suggests people can sit on anything.
3) It provides indications for sitting that don't involve constructing chairs, such as emptying your mind and finding a comfortable place to sit.
For my lecture I sourced from 7 different presentations on SlideShare. The lecture was part of the Lunch Bytes series brought to you by The Goethe-Institut Washington, the Smithsonian's Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, the Swiss Arts Council Pro Helvetia, and the Embassy of Switzerland. http://www.lunch-bytes.com/events/upcoming/lunch-bytes-6/

The quotes emphasize that design is the intersection of art and science, intelligence made visible, and that good design requires understanding information and behavior while bad design is everywhere. The final quote notes that creativity comes from knowing how to hide your sources.
This document contains inspirational quotes from designers about design philosophies. It discusses how design can be both art and aesthetics, but also simple and complicated. Several quotes emphasize focusing design on people and usability, such as "People ignore designs that ignores people." The document also highlights how good design can organize chaos and communicate ideas clearly. It concludes with a quote about good design combining technology, science, and beauty to solve problems people don't realize they need solved.
14 Inspiring Design Philosophies by WebAble - BangladeshWebAble Digital
This document contains inspirational quotes from designers about design philosophies. It discusses how design can be both art and aesthetics, yet also simple and complicated. Several quotes emphasize focusing design on people by communicating ideas clearly and not ignoring users. Good design is described as organizing chaos, being obvious yet transparent, and solving problems by combining technology, science, and aesthetics to fulfill human needs. The document promotes designing with simplicity, intelligence, and renaissance attitudes.
This document outlines a thesis hypothesis that applying disruptive strategies to problem solving can interrupt habitual thinking and create space for fresh interpretations. The hypothesis is that forcing interruptions to the problem solving process allows for new questions, analysis and understandings to emerge. When exploration during these interruptions is authentic, solutions are more interesting and reveal the creator's perspective. The thesis will examine methodologies for cultivating creativity through techniques that change concepts and perceptions to generate new ideas.
The document discusses creativity and creative thinking. It defines creativity, outlines Edward de Bono's six thinking hats approach, and discusses defining characteristics of creative thinking such as imagination, open-mindedness, and willingness to explore new ideas. The document also describes stages of the creative process, including vision, hope, diving in, excitement, suspicion, clarity, and obsession. It provides examples of creative thinking exercises and encourages sharing creativity with others.
Creativity is a multi-faceted phenomenon that involves imagining new ideas, seeing things from new perspectives, and generating novel and useful solutions. Creative people tend to have a combination of traits like curiosity, problem-solving ability, passion for their work, persistence, and the ability to embrace challenges and uncertainties. Developing creativity in organizations involves cultivating innovation-supporting cultures, skills in ideation, collaboration, and leadership abilities focused on continuous improvement and value creation.
This document discusses creativity and creative thinking. It provides 12 reasons why developing creativity is important, such as maximizing human potential, solving problems, and adapting to change. It also discusses 32 traits of creative people, including being sensitive, questioning, flexible, and risk-taking. Finally, it outlines various techniques for creative thinking like brainstorming, lateral thinking, and mind mapping that can generate new ideas.

CREATIVE PLACEMAKING: Thinking Beyond Projects
In the words of a recent National Endowment for the Arts report, Creative Placemaking animates public and private spaces, rejuvenates structures and streetscapes, improves local business viability and public safety, and brings diverse people together to celebrate, inspire, and be inspired.
Arts and culture have been a part of community revitalization and economic development strategies for years. Creative Placemaking is more than a new term for this effort -- at its highest levels, it involves a new way of thinking about the role of creativity in making society more sustainable. It is not just about doing projects -- it is also about the thinking behind the projects and about making stronger connections between creative, community and economic development.
Learn from experts and practitioners who have been at the heart of efforts to use creativity to grow communities and get a sneak peek at Creative Placemaking in action. Our three panelists will provide some helpful examples of what they have done in their communities:
Steve Dalhberg, is director of the Connecticut-based International Centre for Creativity and Imagination, vice president of innovation for Future Workplace, and faculty of "Creativity + Social Change" at the University of Connecticut.
Leonardo Vazquez, AICP/PP is the Director of Arts Build Communities at Rutgers University. He will discuss Rutgers¹ community coaching program and ABC¹s new Master Practitioner Certificate Program in creative placemaking.
The Wormfarm Institute in Sauk County, Wisconsin, is rural creative placemaking at its best. It's a 40-acre organic vegetable farm and creative hub, begun 15 years ago by artists Jay Salinas and Donna Neuwirth. Wormfarm aims to recreate the link that once existed between culture and agriculture with innovative and intuitive efforts that center around a sense of the land and the community.

1. Design Thinking – Insightful Quotes from Women in the Design Industry about Design
2. “Design is the search for a magical balance between business and art;
art and craft; intuition and reason; concept and detail; playfulness and
formality; client and designer; designer and printer; and printer and
public.” –Valerie Pettis
4. “I’m convinced that without bad design, the world would be a far less
stimulating place; we would have nothing to marvel over and nothing
to be nostalgic about.” –Carrie Phillips
5. “You have to go outside your comfort
zone. Andy Warhol said ‘say yes to
everything’.” –Cynthia Rowley
6. “Many desperate acts of design (including gradients, drop shadows,
and the gratuitous use of transparency) are perpetuated in the absence
of a strong concept. A good idea provides a framework for design
decisions, guiding the work.” – Noreen Morioka
7. “Anyone who says you can’t see a thought simply doesn’t know art.” –
Wynetka Ann Reynolds
8. “Have a plan, but be willing to deviate from it if awesome opportunities arise.
While it’s important to think about your future and what you want to be doing in
5 years, don’t let that plan be so concrete that you ignore opportunities around
you.” –Cynthia Rowley
10. Design is as much an act of spacing as an act of marking.” – Ellen Lupton
11. “Don’t design for everyone. It’s impossible. All you end
up doing is designing something that makes everyone
unhappy.” –Leisa Reichelt

the day – only much more complicated and not really the
same at all.” – Robynne Raye
13. “Design is one of the few disciplines that is a science as well as an art.
Effective, meaningful design requires intellectual, rational rigor along with
the ability to elicit emotions and beliefs.” – Debbie Millman
