Abstract

Designing with experiences is integral, but when done casually, can lead to haphazard outcomes. The loss in translation of experiences from context and discipline through design research risks devaluing the significance of design research epistemologies. This research elaborates the issue of using experience as data, inputs, inspirational source in design research methods, then proposes the research needed to improve the rigour of using experience in the design process.
