What is Design Thinking and what are its stages?

Design Thinking is a problem-solving and innovative product creation methodology focused on the user. It helps to better understand customer needs and create solutions that truly fit them.

The main stages of Design Thinking:

1. Empathize: studying and understanding user needs, desires, and problems through interviews, observations, and other methods.
2. Define: formulating the key problem or task based on the obtained data.
3. Ideate: brainstorming and exploring various solution options.
4. Prototype: creating simple models or mock-ups of solutions to test ideas.
5. Test: testing prototypes with users, gathering feedback, and refining the solution.

This cycle can be repeated several times to improve the product and better meet user needs.
