Design is everywhere: it influences how we live, what we wear, how we communicate, what we buy, and how we behave. In order for designers to design for the real world and define strategies, rather than just implement them, they need to learn how to understand and solve complex, intricate, and often unexpected problems. Research for Designers is a guide to this new, evidence-based creative process. Gjoko Muratovski is a university executive, award winning designer, and innovation consultant working with leading organizations, Fortune 500 companies, and governments from around the world. He holds a PhD in Design Research and is also a Fellow of the Design Research Society.

Taking a step-by-step approach through the basics of research, and highlighting the importance of data, the third edition of Research for Designers includes:

- A new chapter on discourse and narrative methods
- New coverage of coding and thematic analysis
- An augmented section on research ethics, with a decolonising research approach
- Even more real-world cases
- New suggested further reading and exercises at the end of each chapter.

Incorporating interviews with design experts from across the globe, Research for Designers is an essential guide for anyone doing research in Design Studies or looking to develop their design research skills.
