understanding of design see when it comes to design

comes to design

comes to design you are basically challenged to come up

you are basically challenged to come up

you are basically challenged to come up with a solution from the idea from every

with a solution from the idea from every

with a solution from the idea from every single ex back and to come up with a

single ex back and to come up with a

single ex back and to come up with a solution to come out the idea it takes a

solution to come out the idea it takes a

solution to come out the idea it takes a lot of understanding knowledge and

you are depressed you will come out with a good idea because it is very personal

a good idea because it is very personal

a good idea because it is very personal to you most of us need to look into that

to you most of us need to look into that

to you most of us need to look into that we are not designing thing to impress

we are not designing thing to impress

we are not designing thing to impress people we are designing things to come

people we are designing things to come

people we are designing things to come up with solution and that idea is worth

up with solution and that idea is worth

up with solution and that idea is worth exploring

exploring because you know better of the idea just

because you know better of the idea just

because you know better of the idea just for example the luggage back to person

for example the luggage back to person

for example the luggage back to person from different background different

from different background different

from different background different understanding of problem come up with a

understanding of problem come up with a

understanding of problem come up with a simple solution which is closer to them

simple solution which is closer to them

simple solution which is closer to them a vice president of luggage company and

a vice president of luggage company and

a vice president of luggage company and the pilot who travels almost more than

the pilot who travels almost more than

the pilot who travels almost more than everybody else both of them have

everybody else both of them have

everybody else both of them have different need and understanding of the

different need and understanding of the

different need and understanding of the eye the the problem the issues so let’s

eye the the problem the issues so let’s

eye the the problem the issues so let’s see the first step of globalizing local

see the first step of globalizing local

see the first step of globalizing local ideas is basically to step back and to

ideas is basically to step back and to

ideas is basically to step back and to turn the word around as the title of my

turn the word around as the title of my

turn the word around as the title of my talk is localizing global ideas ideas

talk is localizing global ideas ideas

talk is localizing global ideas ideas sorry localizing global design design is

sorry localizing global design design is

sorry localizing global design design is the process so you need to bring it back

the process so you need to bring it back

the process so you need to bring it back so understanding the process is very

so understanding the process is very

so understanding the process is very important for us to basically globalize

important for us to basically globalize

important for us to basically globalize the thinking out there we need to adapt

the thinking out there we need to adapt

the thinking out there we need to adapt it in our work style and understand that

it in our work style and understand that

it in our work style and understand that what we’ve been missing is design

what we’ve been missing is design

what we’ve been missing is design thinking you know work very simple

thinking you know work very simple

thinking you know work very simple example is sushi Japanese did not create

as a designer we always think that you need to be creative it is a plus but we

need to be creative it is a plus but we

need to be creative it is a plus but we all just need to step back and

all just need to step back and

all just need to step back and understand and be honest what is the

problem that is closest to us today what is the problem that is surrounding us in

is the problem that is surrounding us in

is the problem that is surrounding us in our community

our community

our community put the design thinking in our world

put the design thinking in our world

put the design thinking in our world process and from there on come up with

process and from there on come up with

process and from there on come up with better solution to solve problems thank
