Make Things Better
People resist change and avoid new ways of working for plenty of reasons. My experience has taught me a lot about how to introduce human-centered design (HCD) to people and get them excited to learn more. Three things are especially important.
We’re thrilled to announce that we’re openly sharing all 36 human-centered design methods in the LUMA System. You can now find an overview of each method, the benefits it can yield, a quick guide for how to use it, and other helpful hints by visiting luma-institute.com/methods.
LUMA Workplace® features an interactive tool that can help you plan your human-centered design work session, down to the smallest details. Session Planner will guide you through designing, preparing for, and facilitating effective sessions that people love.
Remote work is here to stay in some capacity. Given this reality, how might we create a future that yields more positive emotions and outcomes from collaboration across distances?
The practice of design begins by understanding the world around you and then finding opportunities to improve it. In our modern-day “experience economy,” organizations must design with the customer experience in mind in order to stay competitive.

A small team of designers and educators set out on a mission in 2010: develop a single framework of design skills that anyone could learn and apply, regardless of their experience level. This is the story of how the LUMA System came to be.
We created a new collection of design methods to help combat racism and support diversity, equity, and inclusion. Looking for tangible ways to make a difference? These approaches may help you and your team address these complex challenges.
These genre-hopping instrumentals will add some ambiance to your next design session. Sometimes a little background music can set the right tone for dedicated heads-down time, and these trusty tracks have worked well for LUMA facilitators!
