Design thinking: Journey of learning a skill

Design thinking draws attention to the underlying creativity and innovation of an individual designer and magnifies it to be a perfect skill. It is something that focuses on cultivating strategies unlocking creativity and being confident on trying a custom made solutions to a particular problem. By looking outside the box and not focusing on the common solution do we find the most efficient solutions to a problem. In the journey of figuring out design thinking the core essence that we understood was that to design any solution we need to find the core of the context and the consequences. it requires us to know in-depth about the need and the consequences before we think up any solution. A solution that is made for the user and is custom made for his needs only rises when we deeply understand the customers and focus intensively on the problem.

The journey of design thinking in some ways made us think outside of the box and find a creative side to us that we never knew existed. It opened a new door to finding a perfect solution to a problem. It was a class where we learned to depend on our groups and leaned how to work together to efficiently do the tasks. Every story has steps and the design thinking story did have ups and downs but the thinks that we did learn will forever be etched within us. This course has completely changed the way I view a problem. Learning about design thinking I have adopted the knowledge learned as a common-sense approach to solving problems. Design thinking was a skill that a learned that changed how I think on a day to day basis. It did not just give me knowledge that I would learn and forget after a period of time but something that am now capable of using subconsciously. It was indeed a very meaningful journey.
