The process …
Before we dive into how you apply the design thinking mindset to transform your life, let me explain my process. Below is a visual depiction of the Designing your Perfect Imperfect Life process to get your unstuck and keep you moving forward no matter what obstacles you might face.

The key points to take away from this process:
– It is visually depicted as circular because this is not a linear process. It’s okay and natural to go back, to “fail”, to learn and keep on learning. It is through ideating and testing that keep you moving forward.
– The dotted lines are intentional to show that this is a fluid process, weaving in and out between the steps. It’s okay to pass back and forth, this is not a solid line.
