How have “Thinking Wrong” and confronting your heuristic biases impacted your process of exploration thus far?
“Thinking Wrong” and confronting my heuristic biases has impacted my process of exploration so far by making me think outside of my normal pattern of design. I have realized my heuristic biases which are thinking that my audience has the same needs as myself and they like my simplistic aesthetics. My “Thinking Wrong” is using only my judgement on a project without collaborating with a team. Recognizing these properties has helped my to know when I am “Thinking Wrong” and when my biases are showing threw. Knowing this can help me to correct these and have a design not consumed by my biases. I don’t think a little bias in design is all bad though. A little biases is your design style and that style is probably why you became a good designer. I have a distinct style that is recognized by my team and they help to add to this with their own input.
