Week Three of Winter Term 2020:
Design thinking really puts in emphasis on empathy. To understand what you are creating and why you are creating it. In order to truly understand why you are creating something, you have to ask Why. Why am I creating a comfier pair of rain boots? To help answer this question, we as the designers have to get together, tell our stories, ask questions and give honest feedback. As designers, we have to design something that will be successful in the future. All ideas at one point was just that, an idea, a fictional concept, but then it became a reality. So exploring the world of fictitious concepts will ultimately become reality one day or another. Back to empathy…understand the context of your project, understand who the product/service is for and understand why you are designing the thing that you are.
