service design
Service design is: “the application of design approaches and
methods to immaterial products in order to create solutions
that are useful, useable, and desirable from the user
perspective and are efficient, effective, and different from the
provider prospective.“
– Prof. Birgit Mager, Köln International School of Design

The 5 principles of service design thinking
1.  user-centered
2.  co-created
3.  sequencing
4.  evidencing
5.  holistic
- Mark Stickdorn and Jakob Schneider,
authors of This is Service Design Thinking


service design process and tools
Service design is a way of thinking and a process for designing the
service interactions between people, information, technology, furniture,
and spaces so that they are usable, useful, desirable, and effective.
