Design Methods for Wellbeing (TU Delft & Tongji)

What problem does it solve?

Teams designing products for wellbeing often struggle to integrate ethical values with emotional resonance while balancing user needs and cultural contexts. This skill provides a structured, evidence-based framework that blends TU Delft's value-driven design with Tongji's emotional design approach to create meaningful, ethically grounded experiences.
