Impact design – whether focused on social or environmental issues – strives to shift away from designing for a universal consumer to meeting more diverse needs.

 

In order to make such products, designers often reconsider their approaches, using methods such as design thinking to identify problems and generate innovative solutions. Seeking to understand what is most wanted and needed and having conversations with users, as part of the design process, has become commonplace.

Come see how NTU ADM students have not only involved users in the impact design process, but also embraced technology as an active collaborator.
