3DESIGN THINKING EXPERIENCE
Introduction:
In this design thinking project I had the golden opportunity to be involved in a
collaborative process of my colleagues for a creative designing activity. The purpose of this
workshop for Design Thinking was to solve the problem most of the graduate students are
facing regarding their professional career choice. It has been found that approximately 80%
of undergraduate students experience confutation regarding their career choice where 25% of
them develops anxiety or depressive behaviour and another 40% students select a wrong
career path for themselves (Chason et al., 2013). The aim of our team where we were 3
members was to design a problem solving tool that can identify the personality and
intellectual traits of the students while presenting the most suitable careers in front of them
where they could have their best experience in development process of their professional
career. We were deeply involved in the design thinking workshop and had incredible chances
of working together while exploring new opportunities of implementing design thinking
tools. We all team members really enjoyed the creative approach of this design thinking
workshop because the learning we have gained from this process has made the whole
experience of mine very enjoyable. In this reflective paper I am going to present my
experience throughout the design thinking workshop while focusing on a major phases
considering the beneficial and time wasting activities.
Experience in Journey Map phase and other associated processes in our
Group-work
Our team has done a great job of building collaborative working processes involving
perfect people in perfect role in this workshop. The values of this project stand with the
perception of bringing many different voices to the table, and a group of teachers with a wide
variety of roles was useful. At the very beginning of this workshop we have failed reputedly
in many sub-activities. However, we always made encouraged one another to try again and

not to lose hope of achieving target. In this section the overall experience will be going to
presented while taking the most difficult and essential phase as prime focus. In design
thinking process the journey map is the procedure where an individual needs to perceive the
problem as a journey of experiencing all the associated consequences as well (Kavousi,
Miller & Alexander, 2019). Hence, perceiving is the key to pointing out the potential
problems and way outs to resolve the problems. As a natural part of the learning process, we
celebrated our errors and normalizing failure. A quick challenge has been completed by our
partners to help them redesign their morning routines by taking each step of the design
process of thinking.
At the very beginning of this workshop we developed the core plan for the framework
of observational design, where visualization is a key element in the way that very complex
issues are dealt with. It needs the skills of different types of problem solving are introduced
that have to do more than logic. I have developed an initial phase of my partner's design
thinking work to help her celebrate small wins and get her pumped up in the morning. An
alarm clock was arranged by one of my team members to help us begin the day with proper
planning and coordination.
We not only had the opportunity of learning with the whole design thinking process,
We also got a better understanding of the value of the Journy Mapping tool as a key problem
in identified the tool for thinking about designs. A journey map represents a diagram or
several diagrams depicting steps in which the students interacts with their experiences and
difficulties while learning new academic milestones and perceiving a large variety of choices
to make their professional career (Atli, 2017). I did not only have the chance to learn by
engaging with the entire design process, but also I became more conscious of the journey
mapping tool as a core problem to find a tool for design thinking. It is a service design
approach that identifies the key functional alignment elements with diverse aspects of
