It’s sort of bittersweet ending this class. I learned so much that I know I will use in my design career and life in general. The ideas of empathy, design management, the system of prototyping, and all the useful tips from the videos and readings. I stepped into this class not knowing what design thinking even was, and now I can see it everywhere around me. I just wanted to say, thank you to everyone from this class for teaching me things that changed the way I see the world.,
I think this weeks’ cards have an overarching theme too them. Refinement. We’ve been discussing refinement and the design thinking process over the course of this class, but it never really hit me just how much designers use the ideas we’ve discussed. I saw so many terms and phrases that directly relate to the class’s teachings. Along with this, I see the idea of implementation shine through. Not only from implementing ideas learned from this class into what we design, but implementing them into how we perceive the world around us. Design truly is everywhere, and one must have the eyes to see and appreciate all it does for us.
