01
Identify Problems
Design is all about problem solving, but half of the process
is being able to identify the problem. I would consider defining
the problem the most important step in the design process
because working towards a solution becomes much easier with
a well defined problem statement. What's your design solving
if you're working towards a problem that doesn't exist?
02
Stay Uncomfortable
I was comfortable and familiar with architecture, but wanted
to take advantage of what CMU had to offer.
This led me to exploring courses in the HCI department, where I
found a new passion. HCI was my solution. In order to come up
with solutions while designing I need to be prepared to
explore, think differently, and stay uncomfortable.
03
Consider All People
I am interested in exploring how we can work towards
incorperating inclusive design, whether it be in conversational design
or web design. There are so many biases, which are apparent in
how we currently design. I want to work towards creating solutions
not creating barriers.
