Design as a Story

We all enjoy a good story and in creative design the process should tell a story.

Across this site our aim is to develop an understanding of the way we can create a design story for our investigations.

We will be basing our designs on those developed using the Double Diamond approach to design.

We begin this story by setting the scene, in this case we create a reason. Our stories start with a problem, need or opportunity.

Here we are trying to explain the way we design. We are taking the opportunity to use the design process and a narrative approach to do so.

Exploring the story

Defining the problem/need/opportunity

This is why we are designing, the purpose of our work and where the drive to design comes from.
