This systematic review critically evaluates the nexus between data-driven design (DDD) and design processes (DP), guided by PRISMA standards. It synthesises findings from 84 selected articles from databases such as WoS and Scopus, published between 2010 and 2023. It identifies a notable gap in the literature in directly linking DDD to DP, while acknowledging a broader, more complex relationship. This research reveals the complexity of integrating DDD into traditional design paradigms, highlighting both challenges and opportunities for innovation. The findings serve as an important resource for academics and practitioners interested in using data to enhance DP. As well as highlighting existing challenges and opportunities, the review calls for further research to fill identified gaps, highlighting the significant potential for advancing design methodologies through a more coherent integration of data-driven insights. This work points to the need for a deeper understanding and use of DDD to improve traditional design practices.
