Study Notes
Design Thinking Process
- Empathize: Understanding end-user needs through research to address their problems and reduce personal bias in design.
- Define: Clearly identify the core problems faced by the end-users, forming the basis for the design brief.
- Ideate: Generate a wide array of creative ideas, then distill these down to the most practical and economically viable solutions.
- Prototype: Develop initial mock-ups using affordable materials, allowing for iterative improvements without significant resource loss.
- Test: Conduct thorough testing with end-users, allowing for refinements; the process is non-linear, enabling revisiting previous stages as needed.
