The Design Thinking Process

The Design Thinking Process


1. Empathize

Develop an understanding of the direct challenge in front of you.

  • Investigate the user's needs & requirements.
  • Gain understanding of their thoughts & actions.

2. Define

Clearly articulate the main problem you are trying to resolve.

  • Process & evaluate the results discovered during the empathy mode.
  • Create a meaningful & actionable statement point of view.

3. Ideate

Combine conscious & unconscious mind, rational thoughts & imagination to encourage new & innovative ideas.

  • Brainstorm, select & begin building several potentially valid solutions applicable to your user's needs & requirements.

4. Prototype

Develop interactive items and artifacts designed to answer questions that help in creating solutions.

  • Use short-cycle innovation processes to continually improve & fine-tune your prototype design.

5. Test

Test your prototype with users, focusing on all or part of your solution.

  • Ask "What?", "How?", & "Why?".
