Building Design Solutions Through Empathy

In the latest edition of Season 3 of Thoughtcast by Onething, Manik (Co-Founder, Onething) is joined by Venky (UX Lead, Onething). They exchange anecdotes about what empathy means to them as designers and what their journey has been like.While covering their narratives about the significance of empathy in design, the discussion culminates in discussing how to understand the needs of a user as a designer and pay attention to the underlying issues and find expedient solutions to them. Furthermore, Venky’s take on a comprehensive guide about what position empathy holds in design thinking pushes the urge to think about empathy being the cornerstone of any successful design undertaking. The duo then climbs up the hierarchy of empathizing with every individual in the design creation queue - from designers, and developers to stakeholders.---For more on the design space, head over to onething.design.
