Ep 10 - What I Learnt From My Capstone Project

I'm finally done with my Tech4Dev Women Techsters Fellowship Capstone project! While working on my capstone project, something that really became apparent to me was the non-linear and iterative nature of the Design Thinking Process. I was hyper-fixated on following the stages step by step but looking back I realize that it isn't a rigid process and part of being a product designer is being able to think critically and decide how best to approach solving a problem. I get into all the details in this week's podcast episode, tune in! __________________ Here are the links/resources mentioned in this episode My Linkedin: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Marienoel Emechebe | LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ My Email: connectmarienoel@gmail.com Capstone project presentation:
