Rapid Feature Validation

Research and collaboration is at the crux of designing with purpose. Features and concepts can be quickly validated when findings and surroundings are properly utilized for guidance. Students are pioneering the idea that we don’t need high-fidelity solutions and formal interviews to understand if a design is answering the problem(s) at hand. Inside and outside studio time, they’re learning to validate if features are answering research questions with paper, pens, and their own voices, then iterate based on feedback from conversations with others.
