Design thinking is an important way to approach innovation. In our projects in class using design thinking will help guide us to be successful!

Design thinking is the set of cognitive strategic and practical procedures used by people in the process of designing. The different areas of design thinking include emphasise, design, ideate,define, test, and prototype. Something important about design thinking is there isn't a clear finish line always. You can go through the process again and again constantly improving your ideas.

" how might we help improve confidence for pet owners with anxious pets by designing a pet service and website with informational articles care tips and resources." I will incorporate this into my research by finding good articles that relate back to this statement. When conducting my research I will make sure to keep good notes so that I will be able to share my information with the targeted audience(pet owners with anxious pets).

Something I have taken away from this is how I can use my innovations to benefit other people! I feel like I have been so focused on how this project can help me but I haven't thought much about how I can use this project to help others! There are a lot of pet owners who struggle with anxious pets. Since covid I have talked with so many pet owners who complain about their struggle with anxious pets. Using design thinking I can address this problem and work on finding a solution!

Going forward I will use design thinking and my statement to help guide me while I work on my project! I am looking forward to using my project in this class to help others!
