An Introduction to Design Thinking (with Maureen Herben)
Design Thinking is an approach used for practical and creative problem-solving.
Even though it’s based heavily on the methods and processes that designers use (hence the name), it actually evolved from a range of different fields—including architecture, engineering, and business.
If you’ve been wondering what Design Thinking is and how the process is used, we’ve got the perfect live event recording for you.
Join Product Designer Maureen Herben as she walks you through the Design Thinking process from start to finish.
You’ll learn exactly what the process involves and in what contexts is it particularly useful.
Maureen will also analyze the relationship between UX design and Design Thinking, and discuss real-world case studies that beautifully illustrate the process in action.
Featured presenters
Maureen Herben
Product Designer
From an early age, Maureen Herben was fascinated by inventions and gadgets that make life easier and more beautiful. She had a sketchpad where she’d draw all kinds of inventions like noise-cancelling wallpaper, lollipop pencils that would help you concentrate, and non-breaking flower vases. Maureen dreamed that one day, she would become an inventor. Today she's a Senior Product Designer at Zalando, which is the closest thing! Her mission is to deliver delightful and effective solutions to real problems people face.
