Insightiful: Design Research for Everyone

What is Design Research?

Design research is not simply about decorating the appearance of products or services. It’s a process of deeply understanding users’ needs and finding creative solutions to solve their problems. Good design isn’t just about being beautiful; it’s about improving users’ lives in a better direction.

Why Should Everyone Do Design Research?

1. Solving Everyday Problems: The principles of design research can be applied to solving problems in everyday life. We can apply design research methodologies to all problems we face at home, at work, and everywhere else.
2. Improving Empathy: Design research is an exercise in thinking from others’ perspectives. This helps develop our empathy and build better relationships.
3. Developing Creativity: Design research makes us look at problems from new perspectives. This stimulates our creativity and helps generate innovative ideas.
4. Better Decision-Making: Data and insight-based decision-making leads to better results. Design research enables this kind of data-driven decision-making.

Get Started: Your First Design Research

You can start design research right now. Start with small problems around you. For example, how can you make the kitchen space that your family often uses more efficient? Or what are ways to make meetings with colleagues more productive?

1. Observe: Carefully observe the problem situation. People’s behaviors, expressions, tone of voice - everything can be important data.
2. Ask Questions: Ask the people involved directly. Listen to their experiences, discomforts, and requirements.
3. Generate Ideas: Based on the information collected, come up with various solutions. At this stage, generate ideas freely without considering feasibility.
4. Test: Actually apply the idea that seems best. And observe the results.
5. Iterate: The first attempt doesn’t need to be perfect. Keep improving by receiving feedback.

Insightiful makes this entire process easier and more effective. Worried about complex data analysis? Insightiful AI will help you. Finding it difficult to design research?
