Design thinking

Design thinking is a human-centered approach to problem-solving that involves:

• Empathizing with users
• Defining problems
• Ideating potential solutions
• Prototyping and testing

A key component of design thinking is user empathy, which involves understanding and empathizing with the needs, wants, and frustrations of users in order to design products or services that meet their needs. In order to develop user empathy, designers must conduct user research, which can involve interviews, surveys, or observation. Through this research, designers can gain a deeper understanding of users’ needs and desires, and can use this knowledge to develop more effective and user-centered solutions.

Example

For example, when designing a new mobile app, a designer might conduct user research to understand the frustrations and pain points experienced by users when using existing apps. Through this research, the designer might discover that users struggle with finding and organizing information, and that they often feel overwhelmed by the amount of content available. Armed with this knowledge, the designer might develop a new app that is more intuitive and streamlined, with a simplified user interface that focuses on the most important content first.
