Building A Design Process

Designers are often asked to “just design something.” However, design is not a one-time event, but rather an iterative process that involves exploring, deciding, and delivering solutions. In order to build an effective design process, it is first necessary to define the problem. This can be done through design thinking, which involves breaking down the problem into smaller pieces, testing different solutions, and listening to feedback.

Once the problem is defined, it is time to explore potential solutions. This means considering different options and brainstorming ideas. Once a direction has been decided upon, it is time to start delivering results. This may involve creating prototypes or mockups of the design, as well as collecting feedback from users. Ultimately, the goal is to create a design that meets the needs of the user while also being viable from a business perspective. By following these steps, it is possible to build a design process that leads to successful outcomes.
