2014
Co-design Studio is a minor I followed in 2014 at the Hogeschool Utrecht.
The focus was on the Design Thinking methodology, the user experience, and user-centered design. In fact, the user is involved as much as possible in the design process, which is very beneficial for the resulting product.
There were several projects involving several companies.
