Globalization and digitalization have become prominent buzzwords in contemporary society, exerting a profound impact on both our personal and professional lives. The advent of easier access to information and virtual platforms has facilitated a remarkable diversification of society, enabling us to maintain connections with colleagues, friends, and family members regardless of geographical boundaries. In this intricate landscape, the integration of the Internet of Things (IoT) and big data into various domains, including products, production systems, healthcare, and daily activities, has emerged as a crucial factor in decision-making processes. This integration is shaping the future of design and the role of designers.

Responsible designers with a holistic perspective are increasingly sought after to navigate this evolving landscape. The book delves into various aspects of design thinking, including Information Design and Critical Design. It also explores the significance of culture, gender, and disabilities in shaping design outcomes. The functions of Information Design are evolving, moving beyond mere presentation of information and encompassing healthcare technology, smart products, and Industry 4.0.

A design thinking perspective that encompasses users from the entire chain, from producers to end users, is essential to create inclusive products and services. This requires a consideration of gender and cultural issues in the design process. By employing design thinking methods and critical design aspects, we can contribute to the development of a more inclusive society.
