Ask Tim Moyer about design thinking and he lights up. “It’s a different way of looking at the world,” said Moyer.

“Most things that we deal with in everyday life are cobbled together systems that are often times interoperable or at odds,” Moyer said. “You have your transportation system you take to work — that’s a conglomeration of many different systems. Someone designed each of those subsystems but it all makes up a larger system.”

Moyer, both a University of the Arts Multimedia Program alum and lecturer is at home when talking about designing for the world: “As UX designers, we’re trying to answer, ‘Why are we building this, who is going to use it and how are they going to use it?’”
