Students in design, engineering, and business will find it equally valuable for coursework and applied projects.
More In The Second Edition
- Choosing the method
New accounts of the methods in use at startups and large organizations, based on practitioner testimonials documenting real-world outcomes.
Computational support integrated into the methods, accelerating insight and expanding exploration without replacing human judgment.
The first edition bridged a critical gap between design research and real design practice. At a time when AI is reshaping how work gets done, the perspectives in the second edition are more important than ever.
Donald A. Norman Pioneer of Human-Centered Design, and Author of The Design of Everyday Things
