Yi Lin Wong is Research Fellow, School of Design, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. As a design educator and researcher, she has conducted numbers of design workshops across different educational levels, and participated in various qualitative and quantitative design research. She has actively involved in social design projects to promote social and cultural sustainability through creative and innovative design methods. Her research focuses on social design, inclusive design, participatory design, sign design, creativity and design education. Based on different frameworks of design and creative thinking processes, she suggested a creative design process to explain the role of creative thinking involved in design process. The understanding of the creative design process is specifically beneficial for design students and designers in social design as well as other design disciplines.
