STUCK in Design

Are art and science really that incongruent? Creative technology is a relatively new field of work that straddles the border between arts, science, design and development. In his very first episode, Benjamin Xue, one of the leads in STUCK's newly launched branches STUCK Labs, shares aspects of what he does as a creative technologist at STUCK, and even plays a sneaky little numbers game to showcase the magic of computational thinking.

You can have the perfect design and it could still fail If you can't tell it's story well. Today we have one of STUCK's newest director's KK Wong sharing about how to craft a story so your audience understands the consideration behind your design. KK shares how a juicy insight needs to be R.I.P.E. like a juicy mango How to test your design stories with the 'Happy Hour Bar' test and how to get really good at making sure your design stories stick.

Should designers only design for the good of humanity? Donn shares how creating small ripples for good is better than trying to effect big changes, and how life-centred design could be a more compassionate alternative to human-centred design. #STUCKdesign #STUCKinDesign #STUCKedu #podcast #MakeThingsPoepleLove #MTPL #lovable  #consultancy #humancentreddesign #lifecentreddesign #whatsnext

Designers face a dilemma when asked to design products or services that may not align with their personal beliefs. In the case of vice products, Donn shares why STUCK tends not to pick up such projects, and how the team holds one another accountable to only designing for good. #STUCKdesign #STUCKinDesign #STUCKedu #podcast #MakeThingsPoepleLove #MTPL #lovable  #consultancy #vice #design

An idea that is based on truthful insight will naturally resonate and be loved, and storytelling is the key to bringing this to light. Donn shares an anecdote of designing a farming implement, and how the project team crafted a story to bring forward a missing but crucial insight that would alter the entire design. #STUCKdesign #STUCKinDesign #STUCKedu #podcast #MakeThingsPoepleLove #MTPL #lovable  #consultancy #insight #truth
