Design Thinking: Lead and Innovate Successful Projects

“Congratulations! You have reached the end of this Domestika course. Thank you for taking part and I hope you enjoyed it. It's now time to work on your project. This could mean finishing the concept you started by completing the course tasks or making a brand new project! Either way, I strongly suggest you take the time to gather inspiration and make a unique project of your own. Make sure to keep track of your progress with different pictures of each step. It'd be great if you could also explain the choices you've made along the way and tell us if you have any doubts. This will help me understand your creative process and guide you better if you need advice. Here are the main steps to follow: The Theme Choose a topic that you would like to develop into an app. This could be one of those that I suggested—food, fitness, the workspace—or one of your own. Empathizing Start the Design Thinking process by building empathy and getting to know the people you're designing for. Talk to them, so you can truly understand their needs and problems. This will allow you to create better solutions.

Defining and Framing the Problem Brainstorm all of your user's problems surrounding the chosen topic. Decide which problem is the most important one to solve for your user. The Ideation Stage Start creating ideas. Then, select the most impactful solution to your user’s problem. The Prototype Finally, build a prototype to visualize your solution and show it to your users. This way, you can test if your idea solves their problem, and how it can be improved. At the end of the process, reflect and decide if this idea is worth pursuing or not. Have you been successful? If not, what lessons did you learn? And that's all! I can't wait to see the project you come up with, so don't forget to share it in the forum. You can do so by clicking on "Create your project". I'll be more than happy to answer any of the questions you might have along the way! I'll try getting back to you as soon as possible. In the meantime, participate in the forum, comment on others’ work, and interact with the community! See you there. ”
