Design Thinking: Designing with Humans in Mind

Design Thinking is a creative approach to problem-solving utilized across industries by many of today’s most innovative and competitive companies and organizations. Its emphasis on empathy, iterative prototyping and testing are essential for designing novel solutions with and for the intended users. 

Please join our Hopkins Instructor and fellow alum, Danielle Piccinini Black at the Skylight Gardens as she introduces us to the principles of design thinking as well as examples of how and why it is being used today. You will also have an opportunity to flex your creative problem-solving skills with some hands-on practice with design thinking tools!     

All alumni and friends are welcome to join us for this exciting discussion over some delicious appetizers and drinks!
