When I stumbled into the design program my freshman year of college, I didn't know much about design, but as I went through classes, it was evident to me that there was indeed a design process. Thinking about it further, I understood that the steps in this process could be applied to other things, but it never occurred to me that people may not have thought of that yet. That is where the documentary "Design Thinking" comes in, talking about those who are making an effort to educate non-designers on applications for the design process to other scenarios. This documentary also educates the viewers on what design thinking is and how it works, and I love that about it. Making the world a more cohesive place by making people smarter in their work and passion is a great thing.
Prototyping and learning that failure is not the enemy but a means of learning and creating something better is the first thing they talk about. Teaching that failing in order to succeed is better as a journey than succeeding the first time with an idea that isn't as innovative as it could have been is important. Playing it safe is the enemy.
Thinking about the system as a whole and how people immerse themselves in and interact with it is more important than one part of the system.
Understanding construction of a system can bring people that much further in their understanding and knowledge of the world.
Do before you think.
Thank you May, for having us watch this.
