Different Design Methodologies Used
Human Centered Design
Analogue Research
Experiments
human centered design
For my foundation, I used the human centred design model to investigate my topic. This meant that:
From day one, I immersed myself with my most important stakeholder; the sex workers
I utilised the typical double diamond approach to undergo my process
For a more experimental approach I also used an analogue design approach where I interviewed another marginalised group (the blind):
I found that they spoke about sound and touch being the most powerful sense, this helped me to land on audio being the medium I wanted to tell the stories of the sex workers.
analogue design approach
And in between the entire process, I made sure I was building small experiments, I wanted to see if there was something unexpected that could be understood:
I did this via getting sex workers to write personal letters
building a heart rate band monitor whilst people asked questions
building fun, playful voting boxes
Regular Experiments
