Tools and
Methods
Design processes are often supported by visual, intuitive, and sometimes even playful tools, posters, or boards that are easy to collaborate around.
Use our collected tools and toolkits to develop your business model, your products, and how you think and work together
What you need to remember when using design tools
- There is no perfect tool. Tools should support and guide your process, not control or restrict it. Hack them if they need to be more specific or work differently for your needs
- Design tools help you do either of two things: Open up and be explorative or close down and make decisions
- Design tools can be used separately but should always be chosen and combined according to a planned process (our toolkits will help you with such curation of tools, but you might need to adapt it to fit your needs)
- Have fun with our tools. They should help you let go of your biases, explore your curiosities and collect, organize and learn from your research and insights
Explore our toolkits
When we put tools together to form a process or a collection of tools to attack a specific need or problem, we call them toolkits. Below you will find several of our toolkits.
