My design methodology is based on Human Centered Design and Double Dimond philosophies. These theories are complex, what I’ve done was keeping adopting them, simplifying them through my work and my experience, and eventually turn them into my own methodology that can solve problems I face in my work and deliver successful products:
1. Understand the problem
Sort out the nature of the problem itself through research, identify design goals based on the understanding of the target user, the activity and the market.
2. Propose the solution
Generate numerous ideas without regard of constraints, discover the creative insights within them, compile solutions satisfying design goals.
3. Test and evaluate the product
Test the usability and evaluate impacts, iterate the design to continuously refine and enhance the product.
My design philosophy guides my everyday works, makes sure they are consistently at high level, helps me to face unexpected challenges and take unexpected opportunities. However, it is not perfect. Just like it is different from 3 years ago, it will be different 3 years later as technology advancing, as new design challenges I may face in the future.
