There’s a lot more to a good design than just pixels on a screen. During my studies at the University of Texas at Dallas, design research has intrigued me. Design Research uncovers the why behind effective designs. This means taking any problem and shaping a well designed solution through proven design research methods — whether it’s a user interface challenge, a marketing goal, a creative vision, or even a real-world issue. It’s where nerds intersect with creativity. These projects showcase the full design research process, offering a glimpse into how great creations come to life.
