1. Challenge: Describe your challenge, including all relevant information.

a. In my business, which is a clothing brand, I have a difficult time keeping the inventory updated due to my different distribution channels. My inventory consists of t-shirts, hoodies, caps, face masks, men and women swimwear, and much more; it changes every day and sometimes the final number is off by 10+ pieces.

2. Selection: In your own words, briefly describe the tool you selected (e.g., what it is and why you selected it for your challenge -- including any appropriate video lecture references)

a. In my case, I am going to be using a mind map, because I need to get all my ideas together to develop an app that would give me full control of my business.

3. Application: Describe how you applied the tool you selected to your challenge (e.g., what you did and how the tool was applied effectively or ineffectively).

a. I designed a Google Sheets document, which was later transformed into an application made by Glide Apps. This would allow me not only to control my inventory, but also all the money going in and out. In other words, the accounting area would end up being benefited.

4. Insight: Describe the insight you gained from applying the tool you selected to your challenge (e.g., how an insight affected your thinking about the challenge and about design thinking more broadly).

a. Taking the time to sit and draw the full mind map for hours, gave me an insight on how every business should be analyzed before, during and after operation.

b. This course taught me to open my mind to new ideas, to always be seeking innovation, even if it is no creating something completely new, but putting together pieces that would late add value to my company.

5. Approach: Describe what you might do differently next time -- applying the same tool you selected or a different one -- and the reason(s) why.

a. In this case, I did the mind map on my own, because I thought I would have all the answers to my very own questions, but the answer is that having other people share their ideas with me, would more likely end up creating a better functioning app.
