IxDiscover

What methods might complement and synergise with those commonly used by design students?

IxDiscover is a library of design and research methods, created to act as both a handy reference and support tool for interaction design students, as well as a resource for teaching staff.

My role in this project was a hybrid of researcher and designer, which lead me to write over 10,000 words of content across the series of methods and organise this within a WordPress-based website. My knowledge of HTML and CSS allowed me to customise a simple WordPress theme, resulting in a minimal, clear and impactful interface and experience for users.

What I’m most proud of in the IxDiscover project is the site’s ease of use and value it’s added to the interaction design student experience, which was feedback I’ve received from teaching staff and students quite a few times.

The live website is available here:
