Design was originally taught as an apprenticeship, as there is no one solution for how to approach a design challenge. It is situated and depends on the expertise of those tackling it, as well as their circumstances and loads of other factors. DESIGNERLY LOOPS is an apprenticeship notebook with roadmaps, worksheets, short explainer videos, and reflections that will guide you in your design journey. The roadmaps will guide you in your design journey, the worksheets will suggest relevant actions and support you in more doing, and the short explainer videos will answer most of your practical and theoretical questions and show concrete examples of different tools and techniques typically used in the design process. These videos are only produced in Danish (as a start), and the reflections will help you reflect, to become reflective in your practice and move up the ladder of expertise. The content in the book stands on the shoulders of design thinking and designerly research, as well as our own research on how to build a design expertise. We have written it because we found that there is missing a book that teaches design students to move forward, not only in their project, but in their enhancement of their skills within design.
