DESIGN THINKING
Design Thinking is an iterative method for creating innovative products, services, and experiences by bringing together stakeholders from different backgrounds and perspectives. The course gives students a solid understanding of the topic at hand through a combination of theoretical lectures and hands-on exercises.
- SERVICE DESIGN
As-is assessment, to-be alignment, stakeholder profiling, customer journey mapping, service blueprinting, prototyping, and testing are all covered in detail to give students an all-encompassing framework for designing new service systems or improving existing ones.
- STORYTELLING & VISUAL NARRATIVE
Students actively engage with the tools required to design a user experience and create user scenarios and storyboards through an in-depth examination of the visual and structural elements of storytelling and visual narratives.
- EXPERIENCE DESIGN
By engaging in hands-on studio exercises, participants in the Experience Design workshop learn about the design process from the perspective of people (not users, nor consumers) in their natural environments.

About the university
Early in the 1980s, Milan became a center for Italian fashion and design. Yet, no one in the city was teaching design in a formal way. In order to fill this void and guide the next generation of designers, prominent art critics and designers saw a unique opportunity. Domus Academy was established in 1982 as Italy's first graduate school of design.
The founders wanted to create a school where people from all walks of life could learn from and teach to each other. A university that combines cutting-edge research and forward-thinking initiatives with the goal of advancing the field of design.
