Design Thinking Process
Design thinking is an iterative process in which you seek to understand your users, challenge assumptions, redefine problems and create innovative solutions you can prototype and test.
The goal is to identify alternative strategies and solutions that are not instantly apparent with your initial understanding.
Design thinking often feels messy, but this is usually where the best thinking happens.
