Steps in Design Thinking 

Empathize 

Learn about the audience for whom you are designing a solution, and identify all possible viewpoints of your issue. Who are my users and what matters to them?

Define

Take a broad view, then narrow the lens of your search to bring clarity and focus to the problem. What needs to be solved? Who needs to hear about it? What point of view are you addressing?

Ideate 

Brainstorm ideas. Suspend judgement; think of the possible and the impossible, no idea is too far-fetched and no one’s ideas are rejected. Be creative and have fun; the more ideas the better!

Prototype 

Here is where you create a product. This could be a model you build, a detailed diagram or plan, a letter, a process, an art piece, a story, a role-play … whatever brings form to your ideas.

Test & Evolve  

Here you see if your prototype satisfies the users’ needs, and if not, what changes need to be made. Testing is about making things better; “failure” is really just an opportunity for more growth!
