Prototyping for Possible Features EMAIL: 2/10/2012 TO : Adrian Westaway, Vitamins #prototyping #design_research Hey David, Thanks for getting in touch, it sounds like you’re back in the thesis zone pretty quick! The energy thing sounds interesting, and I love the idea of IFTTT, it’s awesome. Have you seen pachube? and shodan? One’s a way of collecting loads of data from things and the other is a way of searching for those things. I don’t use them but they could be useful? I’m insanely busy this and next week, but maybe we could try to chat the following week? As for tips I would say - don’t be scared of going out and talking to people, try to design a journey to take them on that will inform where you want to go, be happy to chuck the [plan out the window if it doesn’t work because at the end of the day it’s about you connecting with them and trying to see things from their point of view, and document everything beautifully! Speak soon, and good luck! Oh and please say hi to Liz from clara, duncan and me!
