Beginners Guide to Design Thinking
Welcome to A Beginner's Guide to Design Thinking, the perfect podcast for curious souls eager to harness the power of design thinking to level up their business and personal life.
Join your hosts - Lucy Patterson and Tracy Sharp - two Northern lasses passionate about helping people like you disrupt the status quo. We’re here to boost your business performance while reigniting your zest for life. No "but we've always done it that way" excuses allowed!
We'll guide you through the process of figuring out what you want, experimenting with how to get it, and embracing failure as a stepping stone to success. You’ll learn how to apply those lessons, tweak your approach, and keep evolving - all while keeping it fun, and scientifically backed. It might get a little messy - but not crayon-on-your-sweater messy!
From our own experiences and expertise - failures included - we’ll make sure you never feel alone on this creative journey.
So let us hold your hand as you empower yourself with design thinking, getting closer to your goals without the frustration.

Beginners Guide to Design Thinking
P is for Prototyping
In this episode we touch on one of Tracy's favourite stages in the design thinking process; prototyping.
Having spent years working as a Design Director for a major household brand, what Tracy doesn't know about prototyping is probably not worth knowing.
Join us as we share some of her production design insight, and then learn how to apply the same/similar insights to service based business' - and your life.
We discuss the need to 'prototype like you want it to fail' and to look at 3 prototyping options: An MVP - minimal viable product, MVE - minimal viable ecosystem, and Wildcard - the idea that feels 'out there'!
Innovation lies in the action space that prototyping presents, so we're here to help you get out of the silo you may be stuck in, and into a space where you're considering not only feasibility, viability, and usability, but also desirability.
Prototyping is most often used in the product business space, and becoming more prominent in the service business space, but have you ever prototyped your life?
Then let us take you on that journey too...
