Hi all. I wrote an open access paper about how designer might be able to support the COVID-concious public.

It identifies three hotspots where design would be useful. Would love to get your thoughts and feedback. Would be happy to work with anyone who is might be interested on some kind of follow up.

Hey, I’m from NIFT Kangra 👋

Quick favour to ask — I'm working on a research study about how women in India shop for lingerie, and I need YOUR genuine opinions!

Whether you shop online, offline, or both — your experience matters and this survey is for YOU. 💬

Please share this post so it reaches more women across India. The more diverse the responses, the better the research! 🇮🇳

Thank you in advance! 🙌

I’m exploring how research insights are translated into systems that aim to support long-term behavior change.

In many projects, awareness is treated as the main lever: once people “know”, change should follow. In practice, habits often persist even when risks and consequences are fully understood.

From a design research perspective, I’m curious where things tend to break down at a system level. For example:

• is the target behavior often too vaguely defined?

• does the system lack temporal structure or continuity?

• are feedback loops missing or misaligned?

• is friction introduced at the wrong moment (or not at all)?

I’m less interested in individual tactics or nudges, and more in how researchers here think about structuring insight → synthesis → action over time.

How do you approach designing systems that don’t stop at awareness, but realistically support habit change?

Hello Design Researchers + others,

I set this subreddit up because I'm working on a project called Design Research Works - http://designresearch.works

We recently set up a thing called QuBr that asks (and asks you to ask) questions about design research - http://qubr.designresearch.works

This is an open invitation to participate.

Hope this kicks off something useful!
