redesigni

Redesigni is a term used in design discourse to describe the systematic process of redesigning artifacts, services, or environments to better meet user needs, performance goals, or sustainability constraints. It encompasses both the act of redesign and the resulting artifacts.

The word redesigni is a neologism formed by combining redesign with a plural-sounding ending, sometimes used to imply a family of redesign efforts or a field of practice. It is not tied to a single jurisdiction and appears in contemporary design writing and some academia.

In practice, redesigni involves iterative cycles of analysis, ideation, prototyping, testing, and refinement. Common methods include user research, usability testing, prototyping, and accessibility audits. It emphasizes stakeholder involvement and documentation of rationale and outcomes.

Applications of redesigni span digital products, physical products, services, and urban or organizational systems. Examples range from app interface overhauls to workflow redesigns in hospitals or city planning initiatives that reconfigure public spaces.

The term is used more as a descriptive umbrella than as a standardized methodology. While related to design thinking, agile development, and user-centered design, redesigni underscores ongoing evolution and re-evaluation of existing artifacts.
