Guiding methods
Under the guidance of Dr. Liz Sanders, I've adopted a range of methods to understand people's needs and experiences, frame and reframe change, and address problems. These approaches often align with the categories of See, Do, and Make, or a blend of these methodologies.
Say methods
listening actively to people's needs, challenges, and obstacles. Methods include interviews, surveys, or focus groups.
Do methods
Observing how participants perform specific tasks within particular environments. Methods include usability tests, contextual inquiries, and observations.
Make methods
Creating toolkits that help people express their thoughts and feelings can inspire creativity, reveal deeper insights, and lead to innovative solutions, like in co-design sessions.
Areas of interests
Collecting data
Exploring, researching, and developing scripts to craft comprehensive toolkits for gathering essential data and insights, crucial for catalyzing meaningful change.
Sense making
Analyzing the data to determine insights and making informed decisions to navigate the development process in the desired direction.
Execution
Designing solutions and iteratively testing them from the early stages to the end to ensure that what is designed achieves the intended success and impact.
Super powers
Learn and unlearn
Through my academic journey and practical experiences, I've honed the ability to both rapidly learn new concepts and adapt by unlearning outdated approaches, particularly in dynamic fields like design.
Active listener
I have a genuine passion for listening to people and their stories, eager to delve deeper into their experiences and gain valuable insights.
Curious
I'm eager to uncover the 'why,' 'what,' and 'how' behind everything I encounter.
