Designing a tool to help designers to document and share design rationale for team collaboration.

As design challenges grow more complex, it becomes crucial for designers to clearly articulate the reasoning behind their decisions during collaboration with designers and non-designers alike. Recognizing the fundamental barriers that prevent designers from effectively articulating design evidence in teamwork, my thesis explores the integration of AI into the design process to enhance designers' ability to effectively articulate their design rationale.

My research demonstrates a deep integration of design thinking, design frameworks, artificial intelligence, and team collaboration. The tool I am developing will assist designers in capturing, retrieving, and explaining their design rationale to collaborators. This enhancement aims to boost designer confidence, achieve better constituent alignment, and facilitate informed decision-making.
