Design Thinking- The Core part of Session
Benefits of applying design thinking to design projects:
- It’s a solutions-based approach. The design thinking approach encourages UI/UX designers to develop different design concepts and test them out early on in the design process.
- Human-centered, not product-centered. Design thinking empathizes with the product’s end-user instead of relying solely on quantitative data to come up with product designs and specifications. It considers user behavior, emotional states, and user needs.
- Minimizes uncertainties. Design thinking is an iterative process. As such, UI/UX designers can reduce uncertainties in design concepts and prototypes by conducting usability tests as early and as often as possible.
Stages of Design Thinking:
- Empathize
- Define the problem
- Ideate
- Prototype
- Test
