Teaching Tools By Aakash Dewan
Interactive tools for design students
Three tools, all interactive

Tools that think with you,
not at you.

Three interactive instruments for teaching design fundamentals: one for mapping services beneath the surface, one for building value propositions from the ground up, and one for synthesizing research signals into trend statements. Built to be used live, in the room.

The tools
Tool 01

Service Blueprint
Live

A live blueprinting instrument with a worked example, three open briefs, and toggleable journey-map view. For seeing what's below the line of visibility, where most service failures actually live.

Tool 02

Value Proposition
Builder

A five-step bottom-up builder. Start with concrete enablers, cluster them into engagement drivers, describe what each one means, then compose the statement that earns its altitude.

Tool 03

Signals & Trends

A STEEP-based synthesis tool for speculative design. Capture signals across categories, pick the strongest three, articulate the connection, then pressure-test the trend statement that emerges.
