Recommendation
Have you ever entered a space and felt at peace, or worked through a process and felt appreciation for how easily the task flowed, or used a product so intuitive in its design that you didn’t need instructions? Imagine those experiences in a health care context. That’s the world design experts Bon Ku and Ellen Lupton would like to create. On its surface, their manual aims at designers of health products, but the exercises the authors provide will help anyone involved in creative work or problem-solving.
