Day 58: Design Thinking

Today I learned about Design thinking and its non-linear yet innovative steps in solving problems and improving people's lives.

This is a mindset, an ideology, of approaching every problem in a user-centered way.

1. Frame a question

2. Gather inspiration

3. Generate ideas

4. Make ideas tangible

5. Test to learn

6. Share the story

The steps of the design thinking process include Empathizing, ideating, Defining, Prototyping, Testing, and Implementing.
