Design thinking is on the rise. This human-centered approach to solving problems, designing products, and innovating is all about empathizing with users. Design thinking leads with a deeper understanding of how people think and feel when they use your product. Then, you’ll be better equipped to improve their experience.
The methodology extends beyond traditional design applications. You can take a design thinking approach to improving your professional and personal relationships, too. Empathy allows you to read people and situations better. Being able to read people’s emotions is a valuable skill. Perceiving what those around you are thinking and feeling is key to solving communication challenges and improving your social skills.
