We propose that both individual and collaborative design is based around the application of a dominant satisficing approach to solution exploration, and we discuss how the satisficing that is seen in design situations mirrors decision-making strategies observed in a wide range of NDM contexts. In line with the NDM framework, we argue for a view of satisficing as being adaptive and efficient in ill-defined and dynamic contexts such as professional design. We conclude with an overview of the prospects for an NDM account of design, focusing particularly on avenues for future studies of the solution-exploration processes that underpin design expertise in collaborative contexts.",
