What is a framework?
Explore the principles of a design framework. We'll discuss what a framework is and what it isn't, delving into key concepts such as a conceptual story or metaphor, a mental model for organizing the entire user experience, and a navigational system that guides users through the design.

We'll discuss hypothesis generation, exploring all possible answers and ideas for your project. From there, we'll delve into how a brand can effectively integrate into a digital environment and what it takes to make a framework truly stand out. Through a wide range of exercises, we'll explore a spectrum of solutions – from standard to innovative and even 'crazy' ideas.
