Whāia te iti kahurangi ki te tūohu koe me he maunga teitei

Seek the treasure you value most dearly: if you bow your head, let it be to a lofty mountain

Design Thinking Process

The design thinking process is a problem solving process by which you can develop anything from literature, art, music, science, engineering, and business. It is a non-linear process with five main steps:

  • Empathise – with your users

  • Define – your users’ needs, their problem, and your insights

  • Ideate – by challenging assumptions and creating ideas for innovative solutions

  • Prototype – to start creating solutions

  • Test – solutions
