Mirror of a brain

From the cloudy peaks of her abstractions she often left fall, such as avalanches, her thoughts. The reason, the link, the chance of them remained there, in the clouds; so that hardly those who listened her could understand anything. Italy / 21

“Design thinking is a human-centered approach to innovation that draws from the designer’s toolkit to integrate the needs of people, the possibilities of technology, and the requirements for business success.”

We need to first define the problem. If I had an hour to save the world, I would spend 59 minutes defining the problem and 1 minute finding solutions.

Human Centered Design

Human centered design is perhaps the most important aspect of being a designer. Solving a problem, and executing the solution have no meaning if it’s not in favor of the person(s) it’s intended to help. What’s the point in exerting a lot of effort to design something that looks amazing if it’s not actually functional? The short answer is: there’s no point. From IDEO (ideo.org), they specifically state that they design for the impoverished. They go through great lengths to make sure they understand who they’re designing for before taking any further steps. They state that “human centered design sits at the intersection of empathy and creativity”. They’re improving people’s lives. Without doing their human research, they would just be designing things that either make no difference, or make the problem worse.

According to DC Design’s article “What is Human-Centered Design?” on medium.com, human centered design solves the core of a problem. Meaning, a bandaid isn’t just slapped on top of a wound, it’s actually stitched up. They have five steps in their process of solving a problem: 1- Empathize 2- Define 3- Ideate 4-Prototype, and 5- Test and Iterate. Technically that’s six steps, but I’ll give them a pass.

The design process is very dynamic, rather than linear. It takes dynamic thinking to solve these problems. Linear solutions can’t solve dynamic problems. Human centered design and design thinking are extremely similar so they might as well be intertwined.

Human centered design isn’t exclusive to communication design, it’s used across multiple professions. It’s even being applied to cancer cure. According to “Thinking beyond the cure: A case for human-centered design in cancer care” written by Tara Mullaney, Helena Pettersson, Tufve Nyholm and Erik Stolterman, healthcare desperately needs human centered design thinking when it comes to treatment. They’ve found that implementing this way of thinking allows them to find anxiety triggers in cancer patients, typically related to radiation therapy, which they are then able to treat and it allows for an easier process for everyone involved.

Human centered design is extremely important for all of us to implement day to day, no matter which profession we fall under.

Producing inner images is a natural process common to everyone. It is part of thinking. Associative, wild, free, ordered and systematic thinking in images, in architectural, spatial, colorful and sensuous pictures – this is my favorite definition of design.
