Design Thinking

Design thinking is a practical, creative, and fast-paced process for solving problems. Rooted in empathy, design thinking begins with developing a deep understanding of the end user and the core problems that need to be addressed. After the core problem has been clearly defined, a variety of activities and techniques are used to brainstorm, develop, test and refine possible solutions. Design thinking is cyclical and often involves revisiting multiple steps to further refine the problem and solution.
