Design Thinking

Design Thinking is a process used to create something to solve a problem.

The empathize mode is to understand the values of others.

The define mode explicitly expresses the problem that one strives to address.

The ideate mode is the mode in which one creates new concepts and ideas.

The prototype mode is when one gets the ideas out of one's head and into the world. It is an example object which demonstrates the same features and qualities as the final product.

Test mode is the chance to gather feedback, refine solutions, and continue to learn about one's users.

Design thinking refers to the cognative, strategic and practical processes by which design concepts (proposals for new products, buildings, machines, etc.) are developed. Many of the key concepts and aspects of design thinking have been identified through studies, across different design domains, of design cognition and design activity in both laboratory and natural contexts.
