Approaches to problems

Methods, tools, theories and frameworks form the backbone of our uniquely analytic, systemic approach to design. These methods span the entire design process, from initial research to final prototyping. We break them down into four broad activity areas: understanding the context for design, framing the problems to be solved, exploring many alternative solutions, and finally developing a vision for the future.

Below is a small selection of the 100+ methods and processes taught in the ID graduate programs.
