Hey everyone!
Today I’m gonna share something that I learned on the very first day of my college Design Thinking. At first, I didn’t know how important this concept was. But as I started doing projects every semester, I realised this is actually the base for everything we build.

What is Design Thinking?

Design Thinking is a step-by-step process that helps us understand a problem, come up with ideas, and build a proper solution. Whether it’s a small app or a big product, this concept is useful for all types of work.

The Steps I Follow:

1.Empathy

First, I try to understand what people are feeling, thinking, saying, and doing related to the problem. Basically, I try to put myself in their shoes. This helps me understand their pain points and needs better.

2.Abstract

This is about writing the problem statement clearly. It should be simple enough so that even the client can understand it easily.

3.Ideate

After understanding the problem, I start thinking of different ideas that can be the solution. It’s all about being creative and exploring what can work.

4.Design

Once I have the idea, I move on to designing the UI. This is where I use tools like Figma and try to make the design simple, clean, and user-friendly.

5.Testing

Before finalizing, I do some basic testing — like checking if the design and idea are working as planned, or if it needs changes.

6.Prototype

Finally, I create a demo model of the project — this is what we call a prototype. It helps me explain my project easily during presentations or client reviews.

What I Usually Do

For every semester project, I follow these steps. I even make a PowerPoint presentation for it — that helps me present everything clearly to my teachers or clients. It also keeps me organized.

Final Words:

Design Thinking is not just a college lesson — it's something I still use in every project. It helped me improve my creativity, problem-solving, and presentation skills.
