Process Work

Brainstorming

Brainstorming is essential in the design process as it encourages creativity and collaboration. By allowing team members to freely share ideas without judgment, it fosters a space where innovative solutions can thrive. This collective input not only generates a wider range of concepts but also helps refine those ideas through collaboration. Ultimately, effective brainstorming enhances problem-solving and leads to more impactful design outcomes.
