Design Research Methods

At its core, the absorption and application of design-driven methods requires one to think differently and reprogram one's habits and outlook toward looking at problem situations. Qualitative research using design-driven methods requires the understanding of situational contexts, users and environments to help provide functionally effective, ethical and impactful services and products that prioritize genuine needs of users. Design Research methods incorporate tools and processes that include ethnographic approaches and other design-based qualitative and quantitative procedures to better understand user-centered intricacies and insights related to a problem situation.
