Perhaps best known for inventing Hybrid-insights in 2009, while at IDEO. Hybrid, as in integrated qual+quant methods, is an approach to design research that is rich enough to inspire design and robust enough to inform business decisions. Along the way he learned a lot about what it takes to change culture and offers to embrace data as a medium to design.
In 2013 he discovered his affinity to identifying and formulating value propositions working for the SONY's Playstation launch of for established and emerging companies. Frequently paired with Business Design and Strategy.
At the California College of the Arts, CCA he envisioned a studio class called Designing with Data. Equipping future designers with the basics of measurement design, analysis and visualization.
Johannes is most excited about training, building and running design and innovation teams. Onboarding them to working agile and in interations through practice.
Besides deepening his full-stack design research skills, his passion is all there is to know about people’s relationship to money, Augmented Reality as a way to visualize data and last but by far not least, how to increase cultural diversity in design.
