Sensemaking

Sensemaking

I finished presenting at the Design Research Society conference today on the topic of Sensemaking - the manner in which we make meaning during the design process, and arrive at insights and new design ideas. You can read more about this topic in my paper, and if you are looking for my slides, you can grab them here. [On a mac, use Acrobat - not Preview]

Sensemaking and Transformation (and a whole lot of jargon)

I'm flying back from the Arizona State University's Design Research conference, Exposed '09. The conference was simple and quick, and the contents were straightforward but felt rather uninspired in delivery. I did, however, find some material from one speaker particularly thought-provoking. GK VanPatter, the oft-anonymous source behind the well known NextD, spoke about his vision of the future of Design.
