DESIGN THINKING & DOING

.

DESIGN THINKING & DOING Feb 2019 - July 2019
Hoge school van Amsterdam, Netherlands.

- Exchange semester in the Netherlands where I learned a user-centered design process called Design thinking & doing. This minor taught me an effective way to tackle complicated problems that are undefined or unknown. By understanding your users’ needs and solving problems in a human-centric way, By adopting six stages in the design thinking process I can solve complicated problems for example:
– Product, problems in companies, or even social problems.



The 6 stages of the Design Thinking Process
1: Understand - Learn about the problem you are facing.
2: Empathize - Research Your Users' Needs
3: Define - State Your Users' Needs and Problems
4: Ideate - Challenge Assumptions and Create Ideas
5: Prototype - Start to Create Solutions
6: Test - Try Your Solutions and evaluate them.
