How Do I Do Design?

A co-presidential platform by Julie Davis + Emily Tsay

We heard you
have some pretty 
big design dreams...
 
Design Sprints
2-5 day rapid problem-solving sessions commissioned by different clubs, events and programs

so we came up with a few ideas

for HaasID that we think might help with that

Learning

Doing

Living

(aka our platform)

Learning:

Offering a connected and comprehensive

Design Tools Workshop Series

taught by experts

e.g.
Design Thinking Crash Course
A general intro to design thinking in all walks of life early in the year
e.g.
Visualization & Prototyping Workshop
A session on designing cool stuff quickly
e.g.
Data & Storytelling
A session on understanding how data impacts design
 

And...

Working with you to add the sessions you want to learn the design skills you need

Doing: 

Collaborating with clubs,

outside schools and local businesses to solve real challenges

e.g.
HaasID Consulting
A program that allows companies to engage HaasID members in a semester-long design challenge
e.g.
Design Sprints
2-5 day rapid problem-solving sessions commissioned by club leaders and event organizers
e.g.
Cross-Campus Partnerships
Partnering with the Jacobs Institute, Lester Center and others to gain access to super cool stuff

Living: 

Creating more opportunities

for you to use design in real life

(a.k.a life after Haas)

So let's explore branding agencies,
in-house design teams, traditional roles within innovative firms... 
 

But design & innovation can happen anywhere

There are only a handful of jobs at IDEO, frog and SY/P...

and take HaasID everywhere...
