My Process

• *do not develop fake personas. Please find real people.

3. BRAINSTORM
• Brain storm with group or write for 15-30 minutes straight
• Ask why 3 times to find root of problem
• Keep in mind personas when developing ideas à refer back to them if necessary

4. DEFINE THE PROBLEM
Define solutions to problems
à New economic locker rooms save space and area

5. PROTOTYPE
• Test prototype – ex new lockers for students
• Prototype sooner than later, do not perfect idea.
• More often then not you will hit problems.
• Hit those problems earlier than later.

6. TEST
• After prototype testing is review idea
• problem occurs go back to idea and redefine problem or redo prototype.
• Refine idea until you reach a solution.
