Design Thinking

The steps in Design Thinking

There are 5 steps to the Design Thinking process. Empathize, define, ideate, prototype, and test. Empathizing is the first step. It's understanding the problem based on the person who will be using it in the end. It's essentially grasping the situation as a whole. The next step would be to define. Define is a reflection on the problem presented and figuring out a plan on how to approach and create a solution. It is not only that but interpreting it as a whole for a defined plan. The third step is to ideate. Ideate is imagining the solution. Research is taken into place to bring this image to a reality. It is what they would call the creative stage. Prototype is the 4th step. Prototype is the physical solution that is created. It brings the the ideate stage to life. The final step would be to Test. Testing is where the prototype is reviewed and tested. The prototype may be adjusted if need so. This is finalizing the solution for the end user.
