Design thinking is a creative process that combines analytical and creative thinking to solve problems. It involves building ideas through experimentation and quick prototyping to get early feedback. Innovation is a byproduct of design thinking and involves being comfortable with uncertainty, believing the best solutions are yet to be found, and a willingness to fail early and often. Good design thinkers have an observing eye, question things beyond the obvious, and are willing to experiment. Design thinking is about understanding people through positive emotional experiences rather than just focusing on products.
