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 titled "7D Product Design: A Human-Focused Approach to Application Development" laid out vertically in seven numbered stages: Discover, Define, Dream, Design, Develop, Deploy, and Diagnose. Each section features icons and text summarizing the key activities and objectives of that phase. The overall framework emphasizes an iterative and collaborative process for creating user-centered applications.

7D Product Design offers a holistic and human-focused approach to application development. By emphasizing user needs, collaboration, and iterative development, it empowers teams to create successful applications that delight users and achieve business goals.

A vertical infographic titled "SWOT Analysis: Decoding Your Business DNA" featuring a central diagram of a brain split into internal (Strengths, Weaknesses) and external (Opportunities, Threats) factors. The top left shows 'Strengths' (plant, shield, gear) with examples like strong brand and skilled workforce. The top right shows 'Weaknesses' (broken gear, chain) with examples like high turnover and outdated tech. The bottom left shows 'Opportunities' (telescope, rising star) with examples like new markets and AI. The bottom right shows 'Threats' (storm cloud, lightning) with examples like recession and competition. A large bottom section outlines "The TOWS Matrix" with SO, ST, WO, and WT strategies. The design uses a modern palette of teals, lavender, and magentas on a light gray background.

A SWOT analysis is a powerful tool for understanding your organization’s current position and charting a course for future success. By systematically analyzing your strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats, you can develop targeted strategies that leverage your competitive advantages and mitigate potential risks.

An intricate vertical infographic titled "How Design Thinking Leads to Creativity" (1,200px x 2,000+px). The design is structured around a central spiraling pathway connecting five distinct stages visualized with illustrations, icons, and text: 1. Empathize (ear, magnifying glasses, user portraits), 2. Define (pyramid, insights), 3. Ideate (lightbulbs, brain), 4. Prototype (hands with tablet and paper), 5. Test & Evaluate (feedback loops). The background is a pale yellow, using a color palette of mustards, browns, and charcoal. Sidebars detail "Why It Matters" (McKinsey study stats), "Key Principles," and a "Watsons Pharmacy Case Study." The bottom features a banner: "Design Thinking: A Skill for Everyone" with four persona icons and the URL "www.juanfernandopacheco.com".

Design Thinking isn’t limited to professional designers. It’s a valuable skill for anyone who wants to solve problems creatively and drive innovation. By adopting a human-centered approach and embracing the iterative nature of design thinking, individuals and organizations can unlock their creative potential and achieve remarkable results.

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.
