About Us
LUMA Institute is an education company that teaches people how to be more innovative. Through a hands-on curriculum, we help organizations learn and apply the discipline of Human-Centered Design to create new value and drive sustainable growth.
We believe:
- Innovation is an ongoing economic imperative that calls for more people to be innovating, more often.
- A key ingredient to successful innovation is the everyday practice of Human-Centered Design—the discipline of developing solutions in the service of people.
- The discipline of Human-Centered Design combines three essential skills: Looking, Understanding and Making.
Our core curriculum is comprised of thirty-six methods for practicing Human-Centered Design. It’s a well-organized, compact collection of methods—small enough to digest quickly, yet large enough to address myriad challenges.
We help people learn how to apply the methods in combination to bring new and lasting value to the world.
