Design Process

Explorations into varieties of approaches to the design process. I have been influenced by the design process since 1978 and began a deep dive into these processes with my own work and teachign over the years. I began to look into ways we might approach the phases or names of the processes and relate them to other creative endeavors including poetry, art, sculpture, film, and more complex problems in the realm of the human condition. The work involved a number of research assistants over a number of years that explored these phases interweaving traditional design processes, the twelve stages of the heroes journey (inspired by Joseph Campbell), the twelve steps of recovery from (AA and related 12 step programs), and my own interpretation of the 12 stages of the design process.
