HUMAN-CENTERED
TECHNIQUES TO HELP US

gain access to insights. It teaches us
and others how we can learn from the
world around us. It can be applied
anywhere and everywhere! Let's go!

design thinking
thing!
Empathy is key to identifying

to identify alternative
strategies and ways of
thinking...hands-on.

for others or to work as a
team, we need to understand
others.

resolve audience pain points

systematic way
for solving
complex problems
and creating new
and innovative
ideas.
