SCRC’s Pilot Feasibility Projects

As SCRC’s Human-Centered Design Research Scientist, I serve as a Design Coach for SCRC’s pilot feasibility projects. Available in an ad hoc capacity, I provide consultation on utilizing design methods, facilitate reflection when the team transitions between phases of the design process, and occasionally co-facilitate methods. SCRC funds two pilot feasibility projects every year, and funding lasts for two years. All pilot feasibility projects are focused on the Discover and Design/Build Phases of SCRC’s methodological framework.
