Design Thinking

Design thinking is a problem-solving approach that can be applied in real-life situations. It involves empathy, prototyping, and iteration to come up with innovative solutions that meet people's needs. Applying design thinking in real life requires a deep understanding of the problem, the users, and the context.

Examples

• Airbnb: The founders of Airbnb used design thinking to create a platform that connects people who need a place to stay with those who have a spare room. They empathized with the users, who were looking for affordable and local accommodations, and created a platform that met their needs.
• Redesign of Hospital Experience: Hospitals are often seen as cold and impersonal, but by using design thinking, some hospitals have been able to create a more welcoming and comforting environment for patients. This has been achieved through the use of color, lighting, and furniture that create a more home-like atmosphere.

How to Apply Design Thinking in Real Life

2. Define the problem and ideate solutions.
3. Prototyping allows you to test your ideas and get feedback from users.
