Elevate your design thinking with Double Helix
Welcome, Human-Centred Designers! If you’re passionate about creating solutions that are not just functional but also deeply resonate with users, the Double Helix framework is for you. It offers a structured yet flexible approach that complements human-centred design principles, ensuring that your designs are not just aesthetically pleasing but also solve real-world problems effectively.
How does it work?
Double Helix ensures that designers can connect meaningfully with users, business and strategy, and create with confidence.
Strategic Alignment: Ensure that your designs are not just user-friendly but also align with the broader strategic objectives of the project.
Efficient Validation: The Double Helix framework provides structured phases for user testing, allowing for quicker validation of design hypotheses.
Quality Assurance: With built-in phases for prototyping and testing, designers can be assured of the quality and effectiveness of their designs before they go live.
