A detailed, vertically-oriented mind map infographic on a dark background, titled "Product Design Methods in a Mind Map," illustrating the five stages of the product design process: Understand, Define, Ideate, Execute, and Validate. Each section contains branches with icons and text describing specific methods like market research, prototyping, and usability testing, with a footer referencing adapted content and a URL for more insights.

I discovered Mei Zhang’s post about when it’s the right time to apply specific product design methods.
And, for sure, it’s a common question not just among UX/UI designers, or even professionals related to design.
Just keep in mind. As a designer, designing pretty and useful interfaces and knowing user experience concepts and research methods are not enough to design a product.

A detailed infographic titled "Storytelling in Design," summarizing Anna Dahlström's book. It is divided into three parts: "Theoretical Foundation" (history, Aristotelian principles), "Practical Applications" (using a 3D city map of devices to show UX, dramaturgy, and storyboarding), and "Presentation & Selling" (communicating ideas to stakeholders). The illustration uses a vintage, hand-drawn style with a dusty rose and grey color palette.

Throughout the book, Dahlström provides practical exercises and examples to help readers apply storytelling principles to their design projects.

She emphasizes that storytelling is not just about creating entertaining narratives but also about designing effective and user-centered experiences.

By drawing on the power of storytelling in design, designers can create products that are not only functional but also engaging, meaningful, and memorable.

Infographic showing Design for Services framework with four interconnected pillars: Service Experiences (user journey mapping, touchpoint optimization, emotional connection, experience prototyping, accessibility & inclusivity), Service Systems Development (process blueprinting, service ecology, platform integration, system dynamics, stakeholder alignment), Service Transformation (change management, organizational culture, innovation capability, transition strategy, future-proofing), and Service Policies (governance frameworks, ethical guidelines, regulatory compliance, data privacy, social impact assessment). Below are five practical applications: iteration & prototyping, multidisciplinary teams, complexity embrace, co-design & co-creation, and user research & insight. Five future trends shown: digital transformation, sustainability & circular economy, artificial intelligence & automation, service ecosystems, and metrics & value measurement.

xplore the comprehensive framework of design for services through a human-centred lens. Learn how the four pillars of service design—experiences, systems development, transformation, and policies—integrate multiple disciplines to create meaningful, sustainable solutions that put people at the heart of innovation.
