Human Centered Design
This space is dedicated to methods and inspiration for design. Design is here seen as the deep, creative and fundamental way to approach change, as in Design Thinking and materialised in Human Centered Design. Design thinking has over a very long time become a popular as well as debated approach for shifting the design focus away from a restricted user-perspective to a much more inclusive people-perspective. People are humans rather than users, as Donald Norman would phrase it.

Teaching
I teach about HCD, digital prototyping, and the need for design technologists on master´s level, PhD-student´s level and also in project specific events.
