For me, design is a process of creating a plan or solution to address a specific problem or to achieve a particular goal. To achieve that, mindsets and processes are necessary. I´m a big proponent of design thinking.

Yes, following and being mindful of where you are in (any) process is so important when designing solutions.

I believe designs thinking is important, it gives you to possibility to approach problems the systemic way. Breaks it down in manageable tasks. And the most important aspect I believe is that you don’t have to be “inspired” to find solutions.
