Designing Change

Catalog description

This 7-week class focuses on design as a vehicle for change. As designers, we have the opportunity to create products and experiences that can change mindsets, break patterns and introduce new behaviors in ways that can have meaningful impact at both an individual and societal scale. This course combines the practical skills of UX design with the conceptual skills of behavioral psychology to provide a framework for designing products focused on initiating meaningful change. This class is for students with passion for an issue and enthusiasm to apply their creative and technical skills to solve real problems in meaningful ways. The course is both a seminar class and a production studio.
