About This Podcast
In Become a Design Thinker Podcast, we will explore life reinvention stories in different contexts from the perspective of Design Thinking, and see how the lessons learnt from these stories can be applied in our daily work and life.
Design thinking is the designers’ mindset in the design process – how they discover the root problems and test possible solutions to keep making improvements. We will be uploading new episodes every two weeks. Our goal is to empower you with this design-thinking mindset so that you can reinvent your work and life by design.
"Become a Design Thinker" is your decision to step out for a change and to become who you aspire to be.
