Design Thinking is about understanding people.
It is for me a powerful tool to face complexity:
I work in a nursing home implementing innovations.
There are so many different people, needs and processes.
But at the end, it is about understanding people.
I am a lecturer in Media Technology and Design Thinking coach.

I am also an experienced Graphic designer.
Graphic Design starts with idea generation then prototyping and launch.
Design Thinking is about stepping back, about not accepting the problem you are given because that is existing knowledge.
As a person I am both analytical and creative,
two mindsets that I like to convey to my workshop’s participants.
