A collection of Design Frameworks for designing emerging technologies
Three design frameworks, that will enable people to design good computing experiences in the future. These are my attempt at cutting through the noise in emerging tech right now.
Over the last couple of years, I have been prototyping, researching and designing for emerging technologies as part of my graduate studies and then work.
There's a lot of noise in the emerging tech world right now. This is my attempt at cutting through it and focusing on design principles, and a vision of a more humane future. Feel free to share them with your design and leadership teams.
Action Centered Design
Action centered design urges designers to look beyond tools, and start with people and their actions first. Tools follow action just like form follows function.
This framework allows both software, and hardware designers to look at their designs in a more modular manner and readies them for a future, where apps no longer take center stage in our life.

Designing Good Contextual Computing Experiences
Context is the latest buzzword in silicon valley, but there's a lack of good contextual computing experiences. This framework breaks down what context means and provides designers with the tools to design experiences that don't feel opaque and frustrating.

Designing Emerging Technologies
Different form factors dominate emerging tech discourse today. While important, they are not the only things that matter with emerging technologies design. More importantly, we live in a post techno-centric world, where one appliance is not the panacea for our problems.
In such a world, designers must think in systems, and build out platforms that enable everyone to come together to solve a problem.
