Who is a Design Thinker?
A Design Thinker is someone who uses the Design Thinking process to solve problems and find creative
innovative solutions in any field or domain. For example, you could use Design Thinking to solve problems
in the arts, social sciences, law, medicine, engineering, business, and so on. It could even be used to solve
problems at home or in your neighbourhood.

What is Innovation?

Innovation is the process of developing new ideas, processes, products, services, or solutions
that create significant positive impact and value. It entails turning innovative ideas into real
results that improve efficiency and effectiveness or solve unmet requirements. It might be as
easy as making a tiny modification or as difficult as entirely redesigning an entire system or
developing new marketing strategies with a new product. Simplest example of innovation
is the light bulb.
In comparison to Innovation, Invention occurs only once in a while; however, each Invention
may produce millions of Innovative products. For example, the invention of the wheel
produced and continues to produce Innovative products like clocks and watches with gears and wheels to
measure time accurately; for the benefit of mankind. Innovation is in how an invention can be used to solve
problems; thus, Design pursues Creativity of Innovation.
