Abstract

Participatory designers provide a personal perspective that has the potential to greatly influence design outcomes. Upon hearing about a project designers begin generating ideas, and these initial ideas often help us determine what needs to be investigated, how to approach the work, and which questions to ask. Suiting up to shed focuses on techniques that prepare the design team for self-conscious, aware engagement.
