Design Thinking

From design thinking I enjoyed being able to take a deeper look into what it takes to present and follow through with an idea. I enjoyed seeing how each step was important and think that each could be incorporated into my idea as well as others. For the empathize portion, I believe I have already done this. I took a problem much of the public suffers from and am trying to pose a solution to reduce frustration and promote a more relaxed atmosphere in the midst of winter. In the defining phase I have decided that rather than making a brand new solution I would like to test solutions that people have already given and refine them, then likely you decide on a “best solution” and see if it can be improved. The ideate stage is the stage in which all ideas get thrown on the table to further your project. So far I haven’t delved much into it but I have talked some with my peers about things that might deatroy your car rather than helping it. In terms of prototyping I have only done paper sketches of ideas I believe to be worthy but I plan to eventually make a 3D model of tools and a material list for the spray solutions. Lastly comes testing which is in the plans but has not been thought out just yet. All of the fixes that are guaranteed to not cause damage will be tested first followed by those that are not. I believe that this framework will help greatly however in the overall execution of my project.
