Design Informatics creates a meeting point between data, culture and design. We imagine alternate futures, disrupt thinking and play with data as a material.



Our practice is experimental, speculative and critical, informed through research and industry. We create inquisitive, professional and articulate problem solvers and entrepreneurs as graduates, leading applied data-driven futures with a global reach.



We focus on making physical and digital artefacts and experimental data things that explore the role of data-driven technologies as social good. You are supported to develop an ethically aware, critically reflective, creative and technical practice at the interface between data and society by combining theory and research with an open-ended process of making and hacking. We build, test, hack and reinterpret what data means to society, and where design has opportunity to shape future thinking for challenge led inquiries. 



Design Informatics sits within the Institute of Design Informatics and is informed by research practice and industry partnerships across Edinburgh College of Art and School of Informatics.
