Design thinking is completely what makes up this course. This course is the evolution and development of an idea and finding the most effective way to communicate it. First it starts off with a brainstorming/ finding the connective layers to one orignal idea. Expanding on those separate layers and developing context within. Researching all separate layers to create a firm foundation. Concluding the information, then reflecting it into the work. Test again to make sure the idea has progressed in the right direction. Create prototypes test those prototypes and make adjustments. Always reflecting back on the work for personal growth and development. Design thinking is being completely aware and well thought out approach to design.

Sustainable design falls into the thought process, always keeping in mind the effects of everything you put out. Is it keeping the development and well being of people and making sure that it doesn't contribute to green house gases, and decomposes and is composed in a eco friendly way.
