“…These results are in accordance with Faste's (2017) auto-ethnographic study of a free design task, which suggested that intuition helped to guide conscious approaches taken in the creative design process. This included working out creative decisions necessary to generate novel designs, supporting inspiration and curiosity, evaluating (intermediate) designs, and supporting critical thought about the creative direction needed to be undertaken.…”

“…This aligns with existing definitions of intuition in design creativity (e.g. Darwich, 2016;Faste, 2017). In the creative design process, intuiting was shaped by information contained in these memories combined with external stimuli, particularly from participants' direct external environment and inspirational materials (Laing & Masoodian, 2016).…”

“…Most research on intuition relies on different qualitative techniques such as in-depth interviews and content analysis (Faste, 2017), because intuition is often nonconscious and "inexpressible in words or other symbols" (Dörfler & Ackermann, 2012, p. 556). We therefore devised a dual-method approach: A cultural probe package and individual semi-structured interviews developed based on Visser et al (2005).…”

“…Although several methods for studying intuition have been proposed (Sinclair, 2014), intuition in creativity might be the least studied area (Dörfler & Ackermann, 2012). As opposed to other creative domains such as industrial design (Faste, 2017), haute cuisine (Stierand & Dörfler, 2015) and architecture (Çizgen & Uraz, 2019), research on intuition in graphic design is limited (Darwich, 2016). In addition, it is often studied indirectly as part of heuristics and design fixation (Kannengiesser & Gero, 2019) and (other) non-conscious influences on design (Badke-Schaub & Eris, 2014).…”

Graphic design is a specialized form of creative practice in which images, typography, texts, shapes and other visual elements are created, selected, developed and integrated to form a coherent whole that conveys an intended message and user experience. Anecdotal evidence suggests that intuition is critical in this practice, but exactly how graphic designers rely on their intuition to support their creative design process is poorly understood. Using cultural probes and semi-structured interviews, this qualitative study evidences how twelve professional graphic designers relied on intuition as what we will call an ephemeral facility. Intuition was discerned as a feeling that briefly enters into consciousness and reinforces ongoing, nonconscious decision making, or causes a shift toward conscious reasoning strategies. The study reports how the graphic designers applied intuition throughout their creative design process--for obtaining and selecting information from clients, filling in informational gaps, envisioning a starting point and guiding subsequent actions and evaluations necessary for developing the design. This offers new empirically based insight into the role and relevance of intuition for progressing the creative graphic design process, including the social and material interactions therein.

Background: A defining characteristic of expertise is the use of intuition to navigate tasks. The construct of intuition and its importance is well-studied in other disciplines, but little is known about how it translates to engineering.Existing literature on intuition does not clearly define the construct and its relationship to problem solving, which creates a substantial gap in our understanding of intuition and its applicability to engineering. Purpose: This study's purpose is to better understand the relationship between expertise, decision-making, and intuition from the perspective of engineering practitioners. We additionally seek to define engineering intuition from this same perspective.Design/Methods: Seventeen semi-structured interviews were conducted with engineering practitioners with at least 6 years of experience. Sensitizing concepts tied to models of expertise development and dual process cognition were used to guide the study's design and data analysis. Iterative qualitative analysis culminating in code mapping supported the development of a definition and theory of engineering intuition. Results: This study's result is an emergent definition of engineering intuition and a complementary framework called Leveraging Intuition Toward Engineering Solutions (LITES). LITES uniquely situates intuition as part of the problem-solving process among experienced engineering practitioners and describes how practitioners use their intuition. Conclusions: This work advances knowledge of the relationship between intuition and expertise in engineering education by providing a definition of engineering intuition and a framework describing intuition's role in engineering problem solving. This contribution furthers efforts to equip current and future engineers with the necessary skills to navigate existing and upcoming societal challenges.
