Dr Rafiq Elmansy

Academic lecturer, researchers, and author with a teaching and research message to contribute to the knowledge of my field of expertise.  I have eight years of academic teaching experience for undergraduate and postgraduate modules, including digital design, interactive design, design thinking, and design process. My research interest involves design theory and practice, such as design process and the role of design in driving healthcare technology.

My PhD research focuses on the role of design thinking in improving patient adherence to self-administered treatment technology. The Adherence Canvas presents the study’s outcome to help companies consider adherence in their product development process.

Additionally, I am a published author in industry books in the fields of design and technology. I am the founder of Designorate.com, a website for articles related to design and innovation. I am a fellow and mentor for the Higher Education Academy (HEA) and the Royal Society of Arts (FRSA), an accredited lecturer from the British Charter Institute of IT (BSC), and an Adobe Education Leader. My industry experience involves 15 years of working with international clients (e.g. UN, World bank). I have worked in interaction design, UX and UI, graphic design, and branding projects during this period.
