Design Thinking Toolkit Series   •   January 6, 2019

My Design Thinking Toolkit is a set of techniques, methods, and tools used to approach problem-solving and innovation in a human-centered way. Design thinking is a iterative process that involves empathy for the user, defining the problem, ideating potential solutions, prototyping, and testing. The toolkit can includes a variety of techniques and tools, such as customer journey maps, empathy maps, brainstorming guides, and more. The goal of the Design Thinking Toolkit is to help individuals and organizations develop creative and effective solutions to complex problems by putting the needs and perspectives of users at the forefront of the design process. The toolkit is widely used in a variety of industries and sectors, including technology, healthcare, education, and more, and can be applied to a range of challenges, from developing new products and services to improving existing processes and systems. Each month, over the next eleven months, I’ll add a new canvas to the series with a brief explanation on how to use it.
