Research

We conducted different types of research to understand the problems, existing products and opportunities. This helped us set a vision for a feasible ideal states with community members



METHOD ONEParticipartory co-design workshops
I co-facilitated 7 co-design workshops with 10+ co-designers who are already the active member at Creative Resilient Youth. We developed a shared language and goals, defined design opportunity and brainstormed concepts.



METHOD TWO
Competitive analysis

I collaborated with 2 engineers to analyze 10+ digital art platform/products – Adobe Firefly, Mental Canvas, Art Breeder, Octostudio, and more – Our goal was to understand how AI is currently used in powering art and creativity, how those platforms enable community building, and know what we definitely don’t want.


METHOD THREEDiary study with co-designers
We invited co-designer to use any competitor products to create personal project, and understand how they feel about integrating digital platform into their creative workflow and their overall experience.
