Footsteps — Design Process

I think my favourite part of the design process is being able to get my early phase design concepts out into the world as soon as possible in order to test them out with real users.

Really began to understand the importance of "falling in love with the problem" with this project. Designing to improve the youth, career development and mentorship space has been really empowering.

Thank you to all the professors, students and organizations that were able to take the time to chat, complete surveys and even join in on my design research workshops. This final project is dedicated to you all.

Check out a quick overview of Footsteps on my program's official grad show page: https://ixdshowcase.com/stu.html and dig even deeper into the case study on my website: https://samanthamtu.com/thesis

I totally nerd out over beautifully designed case studies and process documentation. I dig the behind the scenes of the design process and observing those little big details.

Among some of the most memorable design case studies I've seen in the past were from @ueno., @Uber Design, @Airbnb Design, @IDEO to name a few.

Always looking for even more places to get inspiration from. What are some of your favourite case studies?
