Design Thinking
Design Thinking is an amazing methodology for looking, learning & understanding the needs of users.
MY Design Thinking Practice
I was first exposed to design thinking while following IDEO early in my career. I came across an ABC - Nightline report in the early 2000 time frame. I was influenced greatly by the collaborative and creative way to design.. or problem solve. The empathy employed during their ‘Deep Dive’ helped the IDEO team bring revolutionary thinking to something as mundane as a supermarket shopping cart. When I was at ZAAZ we started to use some of these techniques in their most rudimentary forms.
More recently I have been trained in, and now both faclitate & teach the Luma Methods from Luma Institute. I run workshops, brainstorms, & trainings year round with internal and client teams. I also train the trainers, and have been growing design thinking teams as well.
