MY METHODS & SKILLS

Aside from tools, as service designer you don’t just sit behind a desk and your laptop. Instead, you often interact and engage with both customers, stakeholders and everyone else involved in the Design Thinking process. 


To do that – tools and methodology ar a means to an end. It is important to understand how and when to apply them for you to make impact and deliver ROI.

That said – I do want to give an overview of some of the Qualitative and Quantitative methods that are typically applied, as well as a few tools that are result of that.
