Presentation

Short Course in Design Research: solving real-life problems

If design is about solving problems, then research is the compass guiding us to identify and understand the challenges ahead. With SHIFTA’s Short Course in Design Research, you’ll embark on a journey to explore the intricate processes of Design Research, aimed at uncovering fresh opportunities to enhance user experiences across diverse products and services.

Design Research blends a variety of methodologies and techniques with empathy and attentive listening, enabling us to address real, pertinent user issues. It’s an ongoing exploration throughout the design process, illuminating the ‘whys’ behind user behaviors, concerns, and needs, while delving deep into the context of product or service usage. This pivotal step ensures that ideas align with market demand, thereby increasing our chances of success.

The Short Course in Design Research equips you with theoretical insights, practical methodologies, and valuable experience, enriching your professional profile in design (including UX/UI design, service design, strategic design, digital product design…) or business realms (such as strategic consulting, communication, advertising…).
