A human-centered research clinic for information designers: your questions answered!
In information design, every decision, from the content and organization to the visual language of the communication, should be intentional and centered on people and their needs: visual (or sensory), cognitive, cultural, emotional, and personal, among others. Hence, deep understanding

Making synthesis visible
Although we synthesize information every day, the activity of synthesis is often thought as mysterious or described as hard to explain. In simple words, synthesis is a turning point in problem solving: when we crystallize understanding and start to see

Supervising design research at the intersection of technology, science, and society
With the growing number of cross-disciplinary programs and the active role of design in complex challenges, design theses are increasingly focusing on the intersection of multiple domains, rather than only investigating design related questions. Only in the last year, my
