The Design Squiggle

Methodologies are tools — and the more I work with them and am exposed to new ones, the more I realize how important it is to apply the right tool to the right learning objective. LEAN / HCD / AGILE / HOOK / NUDGE, developed by individuals in tech, computing, social sciences, behavioral economics, all have lessons they share.

  • Lean for prototyping

  • HCD for developing ideas and finding the aHa

  • agile for team work / management

  • behavior / nudge design for finding ways to tie aHa moment to prototypes

The squiggle is attributed to Damien Newman.
