商品描述

The book is a comprehensive guide for anyone who wants to design with purpose, empathy, and impact. Rather than rushing to solutions, the book champions the art of framing and refining a problem, revealing how powerful design begins with asking smarter questions. It takes readers on a journey from uncovering user needs to creating and validating meaningful solutions. Built around the new GRIP (gather, refine, ideate, produce) framework, the book emphasizes designing with people, not just for them. It introduces themes like design for all, empathy, creativity and ideation, sustainability, and ethics while offering hands- on tools such as storytelling, persona building, advanced prototyping techniques, including augmented reality/ virtual reality (AR/ VR) testing.

From shaping lovable products to aligning designs with market needs, the book combines the artistry of empathy with the rigor of engineering.

The book is ideal for students of design, engineering, and innovation as well as educators, entrepreneurs, and early- career professionals. It covers different methods and is intended to spark a mindset shift. Readers will be equipped to build better products to shape experiences that are accessible and delightful to use. This is more than a book on design; it is a roadmap for creating solutions that matter.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本書是一本全面的指南,適合任何希望以目的、同理心和影響力進行設計的人。書中不急於尋找解決方案,而是提倡框架和精煉問題的藝術,揭示強大設計的開始在於提出更聰明的問題。它帶領讀者從發掘用戶需求到創造和驗證有意義的解決方案。這本書圍繞新的 GRIP(收集、精煉、構思、製作)框架,強調與人一起設計,而不僅僅是為他們設計。它介紹了如「為所有人設計」、「同理心」、「創造力與構思」、「可持續性」和「倫理」等主題,同時提供實用工具,如故事講述、角色建立、高級原型技術,包括擴增實境/虛擬實境(AR/VR)測試。

從塑造受人喜愛的產品到使設計與市場需求對齊,這本書將同理心的藝術與工程的嚴謹結合在一起。

這本書非常適合設計、工程和創新領域的學生,以及教育工作者、企業家和早期職業專業人士。它涵蓋不同的方法,旨在激發思維轉變。讀者將能夠構建更好的產品,塑造可及且令人愉悅的使用體驗。這不僅僅是一本設計書;它是創造重要解決方案的路線圖。
