From Process to Practice: Evolving Design Thinking

Design thinking has become a go-to framework for innovation—but is it enough?

I explore how design thinking compares to the scientific method, where it falls short, and how it can be reimagined to support deeper collaboration, community power, and lasting change. It’s time to move beyond buzzwords and toward a more grounded, participatory design practice.
