My Mantras:

  1. The journey is the destination
  2. learning is the process
  3. the obstacle is the way
  4. the beginner's mind is the best mind
  5. perfection is not the aim, better is

Design Process - divergent and convergent, not linear
empathy building, launching - sharing

Ask,
 Understand, 
Navigate ideas, 
Create, 
Highlight & Fix, 
Launch to an audience

  2. Emphasizing Process Over Outcome: I love how this approach focuses on learning as a process rather than just a destination. It encourages students to engage with challenges creatively and embrace the journey of discovery.

  5. I really resonate with the mantra of having a "beginner's mind." It’s so important to approach learning with curiosity and an openness to new ideas, no matter how much we think we know.

  6. Design thinking’s blend of divergent and convergent thinking, rather than a linear approach, is key. It allows students to generate a wide range of ideas before narrowing them down, promoting both creativity and critical thinking.
