Example Reflection – Visualization

Challenge & Selection

The tool I used for designing a new home for my client. For this project, in order to achieve  success, I visited their old home and observed their living style. Here I have used ethnography  tool and had few open ended questions. And then asked them about the problems they are  experiencing, and their expectations of comfort in their new home.

I have sat down with all members of the family and asked them to tell about their problem and  found some pain points. Thus I got to solve some problems, and asked them to discuss them what  can wow them. In this process I have developed some insights. This took really a long time, and  interior designing is not that easy.  By now, I have developed clarity for “What is”.

Application

In the application I have used brainstorming technique to generate meaningful ideas. “What if”  part was almost clear by now. I have started research on new designs, and collect some  outstanding inspirations which reflect the taste of the family members.  This is “WOW” factor of  the clients. I have started developing insights on how to incorporate their favourite designs within  the limited space, with budget constraints. Then finally, I was able to establish few successfully,  and the rest was not possible. So, for that, I have created new designs which exclusively fit the  place exactly. This is “What works part”.

Insight & Approach

Here the response was really magical, my client was very impressed and extremely delightful and  satisfied with the work. Here, with this approach what I have learnt is, always put yourself in  customer shoes. Just because we are intuitive and creative, our designing process should not be  meaningless or useless task wasting customer’s time, money and our energy, and efforts.

This project worked well because, the more I interact with customer and focus on their needs,  lot of discovery happened. Which cannot be possible with any other approach. Here after, I have  learnt that this technique was very powerful and I shall use this visualization technique effectively  for any project which needs to be done with it.
