What We
Offer

Using a human-centered design approach, we conducted a survey in the Lagos East Senatorial District with a total of 309 participants. The participants served as an accurate representation of people who would either directly or indirectly benefit from the SAIL Innovation Lab’s co-design
We applied the methods of design research to allow us to do the following:
- Discover and define the problems faced by the young people in Lagos East Senatorial district
- Understand the insights discovered by relating with the people and identify the unique opportunities that can be turned into solutions
- Co-create solutions that are purely inspired by a clear understanding of the insights drawn from the people in Lagos East Senatorial district. The solutions are ideated, prototyped then tested or validated before implementation
- Implement the solutions that have been iterated
We applied the human-centred design methodology to carry out the selection of participants, field visits, and visual engagements
