Design Thinking Series by Rich Cox

[SEMINAR] Everyone is Creative! Yes, but what does that really mean?

Are you creative? This is a terrible question. You are creative. This is the truthful answer. The problem is that most people are using the wrong definition of creativity.

In this program, Rich will explore what creativity is and show how everyone is creative. He’ll share how creativity can be understood, developed, and used to solve problems and express your ideas.

[WORKSHOP] Design Thinking Workshop - Ethnographic Interviewing + Prototyping

In the design thinking process, the beginning and the end are the least familiar to most people and the most challenging to do well. To become an effective design thinker, empathy-building exercises and tools are a must. After you have a “great” idea, you need to make it real for the user and let them experience it - only then do you know if the idea is great.
 
In this program, Rich will give you the principles of user interviews, a tool to process your interview data, and a simple guide to doing a good field interview for a project. Then we will make some real ideas concrete by building them as prototypes. You will learn by doing in this workshop.
