Designing prototypes for research is one of the most intriguing tasks. The goal isn’t to reach the market just yet, but to engage with potential users and uncover the next important questions we should be asking ourselves. Since graduating, I’ve been fortunate to work closely with researchers. This experience has given me extensive practice in design research skills and methods to understand true needs and wants.
