About the Diary Template
The Diary Template is a valuable research tool for documenting experiences with a particular product, service, or subject over an extended period of time. It allows for a more thoughtful and deliberate reflection, enabling people to express emotions and viewpoints that may not have been conveyed in real-time interactions.
Journaling with the template provides a profound and in-depth understanding of people's internal processes that other research methods may not achieve. The reflective and introspective nature of journaling encourages people to share deep and insightful responses, resulting in a more comprehensive analysis of the subject being studied.

Unveil people's thoughts and emotions.
Enhance your understanding and compassion towards others.

Job Map Template
Works best for:
Design, Desk Research, Mapping
Want to truly understand your consumers’ mindset? Take a look at things from their perspective — by identifying the “jobs” they need to accomplish and exploring what would make them “hire” or “fire” a product or service like yours. Ideal for UX researchers, job mapping is a staged process that gives you that POV by breaking the “jobs” down step by step, so you can ultimately offer something unique, useful, and different from your competitors. This template makes it easy to create a detailed, comprehensive job map.
Co-Creation Template
Works best for:
Design
The Co-Creation Template enables the visual expression of ideas using essential elements. Analysis of these creations identifies explicit and implicit needs. For instance, a human resources team may use symbols to envision their ideal work environment. The output reflects people's desires and expectations.
Zoom Levels Template
The Zoom Level Template is a tool to examine a problem from various perspectives. For more innovative solutions, consider the issue broadly. Ascending the ladder enables you to broaden your perspective (ask, 'How might we?'). When confronted with an overly broad scope that hinders progress, descending the ladder helps narrow your focus (ask 'What if we narrowed?').
Mood Board Template
Works best for:
Design, Brainstorming, Ideation
When you’re kicking off a creative project, it’s sometimes important to communicate the mood you’re trying to evoke — but it’s so hard to do it with words. So create a mood board and use images, color palettes, textures, and typography. Mood boards are also perfect for gathering inspiration and sketching out and pitching ideas, and they’re not just for designers — your content writers, sales teams, and product teams can use them too, and this template makes it easy for all of you to get started.
How Might We Template
It's crucial to ask the right questions to find the best solutions. Skilled critical thinkers can uncover the underlying complexities of a problem instead of just accepting it at face value. One way to encourage this type of thinking is by using statement starters, such as the How Might We Template. These tools can help you explore more open-ended problems and have more productive discussions, ultimately leading to the most effective solutions.
Look Mock Analyze Template
Works best for:
Design, Desk Research, Product Management
Doing your homework (aka, the research) is a key step in your design process, and the Look, Mock, Analyze approach helps you examine, structure, and streamline that step. With this powerful tool you’ll be able to identify your strengths and weaknesses, what you did right or wrong, and whether you spent time efficiently. Our Look, Mock, Analyze template makes it so easy for you to discover inspiration, mock up designs, and get feedback — you can start by setting up your board in less than a minute.
