About this Case Study
By uncovering insights and patterns, hidden deep in massive data sets, we can leverage highly contextual quantitative research to inform exactly where to focus high-touch qualitative user research.
Working hand-in-hand, designers and data scientists can collaborate to better understand the behaviours, needs and desires of large populations.
With a computer engineering background and now working in design leadership, I'll share a unique perspective on this intersection point. A passion for data/insight driven design fuels the work I do, and this work is transforming as our tools give us deeper insights and understanding of user needs and behaviours.
With the emergence of AI (in the forms of machine learning, deep learning, predictive analytics, etc.), the role of the designer is on the cusp of going through a radical transformation.
The opportunity for designers is massive! You will walk away having seen a few great use cases, but also armed with some tools and new insights into how you can apply this to your individual practice.
