Design Research
If design focuses on solving problems, research is the first step to understanding them in depth and from a human perspective.The Design Research Course by SHIFTA provides the students theoretical concepts, references, methodologies, techniques, and practical experience to master design research techniques and uncover valuable insights.
The ultimate goal of Design Research is to inspire products and services that are well-suited to their intended purpose and context, and meet the needs and preferences of the people who will use them.
It requires a deep understanding of the users, their needs, and the context in which the designs will be used, which can be achieved through various research methods such as user interviews, surveys, usability testing, and field studies.
By applying these techniques to gather data and insights that uncover people's values, motivations, and desires, designers can develop solutions that are more likely to have a positive impact on people's lives.
This is also crucial to ensure that any business idea is grounded on actual market demand, thus reducing uncertainty and increasing its chances of success.
