Make it quick and sharp, then move on: go for quantity - get as many ideas and concepts as possible, ui prototyping tools, adobe creative suite, marvelapp, pop app. Invision: mockplus, uml and dfd models, visual paradigm community, draw. io. Empathize > define > ideate > prototype > test. Ideate the problem and come up with a solution: understand what the user is in need of, prototype the design and instantiate the idea, test the idea and determine if it solves the problem. Then the product is iterated upon until the end of its lifecycle. What is design thinking: design thinking is a series of analytic and creative approaches and mindsets that are used in the design process. Ideations and brainstorming: obtaining feedback from users through prototype testing, heuristic evaluation. Why is it important: design thinking allowing designers to work closely and to the specific needs of the user.
