Description
Design thinking, an iterative process in which you seek to understand your users, redefine problems and create innovative solutions, may be considered one of the best ways to create new value in the economy today to adapt to changing consumer demographics, sophistication, priorities, and preferences. Explore how thinking like a “user experience scientist” aligns design as a strategy to discover what is most valuable to your homebuyers as they interact with their physical, psychological, economic, social, and virtual environments. Using a four-step approach of discovery, definition, developing, and delivering design strategy, this discussion between architect, designer, builder, and scholar leads you straight to the consumer’s heart by communicating to their values. If design is our way of communicating to users, data is our way of listening.
