This project was created by a team of researchers at the University of Washington in the Human Centered Design and Engineering department. The Design Signatures App is part of our larger ecosystem of work where we strive to help ourselves and others learn more about Design Awareness. We hope to share our research findings and tools to ultimately impact designers around the world. We believe that design awareness can help lead to a more intentional, empathetic and sustainable design field!
This work was supported by the Center for Engineering Learning & Teaching at the University of Washington, the Mitchell T. and Lella Blanche Bowie Endowment, and the Mark and Carolyn Guidry Foundation. We would like to thank the students in the Design Awareness seminar for their invaluable feedback on the first iteration of the app, and we would like to thank Aaron Joya, Alison Gray and Jennifer Turns for their insights and contributions.
