Designing the Design Process: Beyond the Double Diamond

Information architecture and UX are practiced as forms of design—the design of products, systems, and desired futures to satisfy human needs and values. In practice, we use models of ""the design process” that are over 20 years old, if not a half century old. Our field is rapidly changing, and we know that the Double Diamond doesn't tell the full story of how we work. Are existing models of the…

But XR "elsewheres” are unique blends of digital and physical that introduce…

Workshop 101: Design and Facilitation

A well-designed workshop is an excellent way to get things done. And as UXers, our skills uniquely position us to help clients and teams explore options and come to consensus, both in person and online. But successful workshops don't happen by accident. And workshop design and facilitation aren't really taught in school or on the job. Workshop 101 gives participants a flexible workshop-building framework. Participants will explore workshop activities, tools,…
