An exercise in Design Thinking
For this assignment I was presented with a wicked problem: increasing the awareness of sustainability
with a focus on food waste. The aim of this project was to learn how to work with the method of Design
Thinking while developing a proof of concept as a possible solution.
In this project, I was given the responsibility of researching the data about the impact of
food production and realizing the prototype for a web app, but I have been present during all five
stages of the Design Thinking process.
