Breaking out creativity roadblocks and end up with a better solution.

Backgroud

As a designer, we refer to empathy, research, discovery, solutions, and success metrics in our day-to-day, but rarely is this methodology applied to the world around us.

It’s evident that the structures in place don’t drive success for everyone — the Floyds, Breonnas, and Ahmauds keep happening and are a result of a broken system that’s past due for a change.

RESEARCH

" Design thinking is critical to so many of the challenges ahead, and we will need to be open to the evolving needs of our communities. "  

- Cheryl Durst

Results



Through research and interviews, I found that more than half of designers and young people who like art need an app that can collect and communicate inspiration. Because many people fi nd it diffi cult to open themselves in reality, but they hope to fi nd like-minded friends to get more communication opportunities

At the same time, through questionnaire survey and interview with designer friends, I found that software can expand my way of thinking and change the original path, because people in different regions and countries may have different ideas, so sharing becomes very important.
