Closing the Loop: Systems Thinking for Designers is a 2023 professional design book by Sheryl Cababa, a design researcher, strategist, and educator. It introduces systems thinking for people who design products, services, and experiences but need to account for the larger conditions that shape outcomes. Rather than treating a design brief as an isolated user problem, Cababa directs attention to relationships among people, institutions, policies, incentives, histories, and resources. The book belongs to the practical design-methods genre, combining an accessible conceptual introduction with visual frameworks intended for day-to-day project work. Its central purpose is not to replace human-centered design, but to extend it: designers are asked to examine who defines a problem, what a proposed intervention may change elsewhere, and which consequences may be overlooked. Cababa gives particular importance to equity-centered practice, making the book relevant to work in education, health, public services, and other consequential domains. It is a guide to designing with greater awareness of interdependence, feedback, and context.
