Many professionals struggle to navigate, adapt, or communicate design methods in HCI and UX, especially when working in interdisciplinary teams or facing a variety of possible frameworks. This course introduces Aurora, a framework that functions as a grammar for reading, analyzing, and creating design methods with greater clarity and confidence. Aurora was developed through years of practical experience in teaching design methods to beginners and practitioners from various backgrounds. Through hands-on activities, comparative analysis, and guided reflection, participants will engage with well-known design methods, using Aurora as a reference point. The course offers a flexible yet rigorous approach to methodological thinking and supports the creation of frictionless design roadmaps, as structured workflows that are easier to manage, communicate, and apply across diverse teams. It is especially useful for educators and non-HCI/UXD professionals who contribute to design methods but may lack formal training in design methods.
