A Design System for Design Leadership

Open Access

This thesis paper depicts two semesters of work while in my MA Interaction Design Thesis class. It is split respectively into a Fall 2021 and Spring 2022 section wherein Fall 2021 focuses on user interviews, iterative prototyping, and hopeful next steps; Spring 2022 focuses on design leadership, pivots while in the design process, and the reflective process of cultivating value driven deliverables. It is important to include the Fall 2021 thesis paper draft as it sets a tone and background for what was to bloom in Spring 2022. Spring 2022 shows that design is emergent and has the ability to pivot, sometimes drastically, while on the road to actualizing design goals. What began as an investigation of gender and how interactive design can further highlight the beauty of gender nonconformity through the use of NFT’s, evolves into an abstracted analysis of design leadership and the system that made my design leadership flourish and bloom. Spring 2022 contains design deliverables that hold the values which were cultivated throughout Fall 2021 and formalized in the beginning of Spring 2022.
