The Designers Mindset
from The Extra Seat Hosted by Stephan Hitchins
In this episode of The Extra Seat, we explore the designer’s mindset and how it shapes the way we approach highly complex, “wicked” problems through design thinking. At its core, the designer’s mindset embraces empathy, curiosity, and a willingness to reframe challenges rather than rush to solutions. We’ll unpack how this mindset encourages experimentation, iteration, and resilience in the face of uncertainty. Examples include how design thinkers have addressed urban sustainability challenges, reimagined patient experiences in healthcare, and developed community-driven responses to social issues like homelessness. Tune in to discover how adopting the designer’s mindset helps us navigate complexity, unlock creativity, and design solutions that create meaningful, lasting impact.
