Design Process

Design Thinking is a framework for developing practical and creative resolutions. The process is built on five basic steps – empathize, define, ideate, prototype and test. Students are taught to work through this process to create products or services that solve real-world problems.

• Empathize
  Feel or understand what another person is feeling or thinking.
• Define
  Create clarity about the problem or need we are designing for.
• Ideate
  Think of many possible solutions based on user's exact needs.
• Prototype
  Test ideas quickly.
• Test
  Bring prototypes to users to better understand the user.
