NordDesign 2020
The NordDesign conferences serve as a Nordic complement to the larger international conferences in design and product development, but we also wish to welcome participants from all other countries.
Knowledge Base Repository
In addition to research papers, the Design Society is developing several valuable resources for those interested in the study of design. These include a repository of PhD theses, a library of case studies and transcripts of design activities, and an archive of our newsletters. Please note that these resources are accessible exclusively to Design Society members.

Abstract:
This research paper examines the impact of the Design Thinking process in cultivating creative confidence and encouraging empathy towards others. Our target group included students in general; Digital Engineering students in particular. This research reports on the finding gauged from two Design Thinking workshops that took place at the HPI D-School in 2017 and 2018. We applied the Competency Based Creative Agency Scale, a self-reported scale, to evaluate the participants’ creative self-efficacy and perception of their own creative capacity.
