Creative Process
We believe that supporting handicraft artisans is essential, and we were delighted to embark on this wonderful journey with them in Al Kharga, southern Egypt.
Driven by our belief in the power of supporting individuals with manual skills and talents, we embarked on a journey of continuous creativity with a group of artisans. Our goal was to unleash their full potential and translate their unique visions into real, tangible, and innovative products.This creative process is designed to help handcraft people develop new products and services, improve their marketing and sales strategies, and overcome other challenges. It is based on the design thinking principles of empathy, definition, ideation, and prototyping.
Empathize
The first step is to empathize with the handcraft people. This means understanding their needs, challenges, and aspirations. This can be done through interviews, workshops, surveys, and observation.
Ideate
The next step is to ideate solutions to the problem. This is where design thinking comes in. Design thinking is a non-linear, iterative process that encourages creative thinking and experimentation. There are many different design thinking methods and tools that you can use.
Define
Once you have a good understanding of the handcraft people, you can define the problem that you want to solve. This could be anything from helping them to develop new products and services to improving their marketing and sales strategies.
Prototype and Test
Once you have generated some ideas, you can start to prototype and test them. This means creating rough models or representations of your ideas and testing them with the handcraft people. This will help you to refine your ideas and ensure that they are feasible and desirable
