Making Meaning Manifest: Communication And Relevance In Design Thinking, Luke Feast Dec 2025

Making Meaning Manifest: Communication And Relevance In Design Thinking, Luke Feast

IASDR Conference Series

This paper examines communication in design thinking, drawing on Sperber and Wilson's Relevance Theory as an alternative to the prevailing information-processing model. While design thinking is commonly framed as problem-solving, we propose that designed artefacts function as ostensive stimuli that guide users' inferential processes rather than encoding fixed meanings. The ostensive-inferential model reveals how designers communicate through intentions, where users actively infer meaning based on evidence, context, and relevance. This framework explains complex communicative phenomena, including affordances, metaphors, cross-cultural design considerations, and ethical dimensions of design practice. This perspective has significant implications for design thinking education and practice, emphasising communication …
