Explore Midjourney Fashion With Me

A showcase of midjourney “fashion” explorations. In case you haven’t heard, the fashion that Midjourney 5 produces is insane. I have a whole archive of creations, so I’ll be introducing them slowly as themes. These 3 fall under “Haute Couture, are you sure”.

The last one is my favorite - a “real AI blunder” it took the “cat eyed” eyeliner prompt a bit too literally - and all they all have cats rendered in.

Enjoy!

Applying Design Thinking to Healthcare

I’m going to outline my thought process on how I would approach the problem of patient satisfaction in the waiting room environment

To be clear, I know that there are several projects that have been done around patient satisfaction and the waiting room experience, I wanted to help explain how I would personally attempt to solve this issue using Design Thinking. Design thinking is a framework for solving problems. It quickly breaks down like this:

The mind of a designer isn’t always pretty

Quick background before I dive into my exercise

I was having one of those particularly groggy days, the kind of day where it felt like my brain only wanted to operate in “Saturday mode” but I needed a quick dose of creativity. I came across this cool website that generates design prompts for whiteboard exercises. I decided to forgo the whiteboard and attempt to capture my thought process in writing.

What follows is my unedited “steam of consciousness”Questions I’d normally ask and steps I‘d take to solve a “unique problem”. It's also a pretty “wacky” design prompt that ended up being fun to think through.

I allowed myself 20 minutes for this “thought exercise” and definitely left some territory uncovered.

Life is unexpected

This morning my husband and I woke to get our daughter ready for daycare. I was planning out my workday when we realized she felt “hot to the touch.” Being a daycare baby, we’re used to colds and other bugs coming home. But never a temperature, so we took out our trusty thermometer, and it read 101. Not entirely convinced, we searched around for a backup thermometer (to let us know the first one had obviously malfunctioned).
