Learn the basic concepts for designing based on your users' needs and expectations
Ethnography and design may seem like two distant concepts, but in the hands of professionals like Estudio Racimo, the connection is obvious. This Chilean design studio applies ethnography—a field that studies the behavior of human groups—to the design of products and services, something that clients like Walmart, Telefónica, and Metlife can attest to.
In this online course, learn to tackle your design projects from a new perspective by getting to know your users in depth and understanding what they want before designing a product or service tailored to their needs.

Reviews
A course by EstudioRacimo
Estudio Racimo is a Chilean studio made up of designers, sociologists, ethnographers, engineers, and journalists who share their creativity and common sense to do things. Their approach consists of putting users at the center and designing based on a deep understanding of them.
They have applied this process to diverse projects ranging from tourist routes to antibacterial earplugs while maintaining their philosophy that each design tells a carefully constructed story.

PlusEl mensaje de las expositoras, es claro, se deja entender; debe ser porque tengo lecturas de etnografía y metodología cualitativa que me facilitan el entendimiento.
