Reflection – Mind Mapping 

 I am currently studying and working on a design field team and one of the challenges 

 we usually encounter is how will we furthermore innovate , improve ideas or products , and 

 make it more appealing to audience . Design Thinking gave me an insight into how we can 

 make the sessions more efficient as we practice brainstorming . We have used different 

 techniques such as writing different personal ideas on sticky notes and narrowing it to the 

 most functioning and efficient solution . And then connecting it to the gathered existing data . 

 The Design Thinking made me want to share insights I learned during the course and how I 

 could apply them to enhance and develop our processes of solving the problem . Although 

 we already think of innovative solutions to the challenges , the techniques on the Mind 

 Mapping design tool such as mind mapping , concept development , assumption testing , 

 rapid prototyping , and mainly looking for patterns and insights to establish criteria for the 

 confirming and disconfirming data , will help us come up with better solutions . 

 To develop an effective design for the product , I start by identifying different 

 opportunities from different aspects like the target market or customer , sales , convenience 

 and mainly the designs function . Drafting the design brief can also help my team to 

 understand the scope of the project which will help my team recognize the patterns and 

 insights of the process . I will then assign different research to the team so we can identify 

 insights which will help us establish design criteria . I will base our concepts through 

 gathered data from the research and will proceed to brainstorming ideas to develop several 

 designs by sketching products with different features and narrowing the designs to five final 

 products . For that process , I will ask my team to note on separate sticky notes any ideas 

 they believe might be a helpful problem for the new ideas and I will ask them to take note of 

 what fits as well as what does not fit . I will start by having one member of the team start with 

 his or her idea by placing it on a large board . Then another team member adds their sticky 

 notes that are related to the same idea or concept . Then the next member will suggest 

 another idea and so forth , until the different ideas on sticky notes will be reduced to the final 

 concept of the product . After having the final designs , I will conduct a survey on different 

 customers varying from age , work , interest etc . by showing them the 3d model and list of 

 features and then finalize which will be more appealing and will “ boom ” to the surveyee . By 

 gathering data through surveys and engaging to different consumers by initial output or 

 rapid prototypes , can help us identify assumptions to the solution which can help us 

 improve and finalize the product design . On which can capture and represent the mind of 

 customers and to identify the insights related to each cluster and look for connections 

 between clusters . 

 What I have learned by taking this course has led me to think more open about how I 

 solve problems as a designer . With different and several ideas combined I can get better 

 perspective for the project by having empathy for my audience . It will also help me and my 

 team throughout the process by having an agreement regarding how to decide if a solution 

 is good or not . It will help me focus more on the possibilities rather than the problem itself .

EMAIL - A student’s email address.
USERNAME - A student's username on any platform.
ID_NUM - A number or sequence of characters that could be used to identify a student, such as a student ID or a social security number.
PHONE_NUM - A phone number associated with a student.
URL_PERSONAL - A URL that might be used to identify a student.
STREET_ADDRESS - A full or partial street address that is associated with the student, such as their home address.
