ABSTRACT
Designers increasingly need to collect data to design personalized, contextualized experiences. The act of collecting such data--often in context--is hard, and collecting the right quality and quantity data is even harder. By applying approaches such as Data-Enabled Design (DED) we can remotely collect data. The DED process involves operational, behind-the-scenes activities to facilitate and scale data collection and designing with data. These activities show similar characteristics to plumbing, channeling the flow of data in design. In this provocation, we describe six main "design plumbing'' tasks throughout three main phases of a DED study that are seemingly out of scope for design, yet crucial to design. We posit that knowing about the pipes and drains of your design process is as essential as concepts, prototypes and qualitative studies are.

The role of design fiction in participatory design processes
NordiCHI '18: Proceedings of the 10th Nordic Conference on Human-Computer InteractionParticipatory design is in essence very malleable as any design technique could lend itself to it, as long as users and stakeholders are involved. Design fictions however, have more often been used as either a vehicle for critical designs, or as a sheer ...
Design strategies and methods in interaction design: the past, present, and future
CHI EA '97: CHI '97 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing SystemsThe complexity of user interface design demands well-chosen strategies and methods to optimize the design process. This two day workshop is designed to provide the understanding and application of design strategies and methods [DS&M] for the development ...
Design patterns in creative design processes
C&C '09: Proceedings of the seventh ACM conference on Creativity and cognitionThe paper presents the analysis of nine architects design processes with different design experience and expertise levels. The main goal is to visualize and analyze patterns between their design processes, design phases, design iterations, and software ...
