The Difference Between Human Centered Design and Design Thinking · w/ Kate Canales · The Square

[@GreatestPossibleGood]

Speaking as a practitioner - "human-centered design" and "design thinking" are used interchangeably in all but the most academic circles. Kate Canales is right, according to IDEO's definition. IDEO says HCD is a problem-solving method, and DT is an application of HCD to innovation. But the difference is so semantic I don't think it's useful. Most of the young people and entrepreneurs I work with haven't heard of either, and all the jargon just gets in the way. The thing that sticks with them is that A) everything is designed, whether you had a say in it or not, and B) that you can design and un-design the world around you to make it better.

not really, in this case, human-center design is the square, design thinking is the rectangle. It could be iterated much more easily with the idea of subset.
