POV Statements — What are the needs that we’re trying to solve?
- Emilie needs an environment that provides easy and readily accessible opportunities for both privacy/isolation (for her scheduling requirements) and engaging with others (to have satisfying relationships and fun as a relief from her busy times).
- Balanced Billy needs a way to effectively balance social, sleep, and study to help him recognize that these are three separate modes that all need to be honored. This could be separation of these three modes.
- Picky Penelope — needs to be able to adjust her surroundings to her preferences (daily, monthly, yearly) — thermal comfort, lighting, sounds. social connectedness.
- Light Sleeper Liam needs a way to insulate himself, so he can get the sleep he needs.Ba
- Balanced Barry — needs separation between Study, Sleep,Socialize, and Storage.

Design Project 4 - Case Study of Sustainable Design Thinking
- What’s in your toolbox?
- Strategies we’ve tried
- Strategies others have tried
- Strategies no one has tried
- Choose an example of a case where a change, intervention, or innovation was made to improve the sustainable behavior of a group of people.
- Apply a Design Thinking mindset to analyze this case:
- Who were the people?
- What was their need / POV?
- Ideating - How Might We?
- What is the underlying strategy that was used to change people’s behavior?
- What other strategies could have been used?
- Post in your Design Journal:
- For the current strategy — apply critical analysis
- List 3 things aspects of this strategy that your feel worked successfully? Cite data or results.
- List 3 specific things about this strategy that your feel weren’t successful or could be improved?
- Imagine a new strategy — apply creativity and divergent thinking
- Envision and describe 3 or more new strategies that would significantly improve the sustainable behavior through a radical / disruptive / paradigm-shifting change or innovation.
- Describe the key features (MVP) of each of these new strategies in your Design Journal posting.
- Developing our POV Statements
