“Design’s fundamental role is problem solver.”




Design Thinking: How Designers Solve Problems

According to Emilie Johnston from CloudApp, Designers have a unique way of seeing the world and that perspective can add some major value to the business. But a traditional task-oriented design mindset won't get you there. Here are some of the ways great designers innovate their way to the top.

Make problem-solving the priority

The colors, the creativity, the endless possibilities for how to make a product better, easier, sexier. Hands down, the BEST thing about design, is that it's fun. Really fun. The problem with it being fun, is that you could literally spend hours obsessing over fonts, and never solve a single problem for your users.
Great designers relish the details, but never lose sight of the bigger picture. They know that while tools and tricks may come and go, the big picture is always the same: Solving a problem for your user.
Because at the end of the day, it doesn't matter which platform you use, or color palette you choose, it's all about how those design elements make life better in the real world. Or to put it in the words of UX guru and author of Don't Make Me Think, Steve Krug, “usability is about people and how they understand and use things, not about technology.”

    This post starts with a scattered chunk layout but nails design’s core problem-solving truth with Steve Krug’s classic usability quote—pro tip: stitching user feedback snapshots, competitor visual gaps, and your own creative mockups together using simple tools can keep that big picture front and center way better than obsessing over fonts solo!
