Every design brief is different. We can frame and reframe, plan and use frameworks to our hearts content, but rigidity in our process can trip us up. Holding too hard and fast to ideals or methods can lock us into a routine or prescriptive design. How do we keep the integrity of our design work while being flexible and dynamic? How can we plan for flexibility in a world of tight schedules and tighter budgets? This discussion and workshop will help you work through new ways to embrace the old-school job of the designer and work at the pace of business, with a work-session around methods to understand context and create agile design plans that meet the needs of your client, their unique situation, and most importantly, design good stuff for real people.
