Design thinking, learned through practice.
Design thinking workshops with KYLEE Design for teams and educators in Malaysia, China and Southeast Asia: observation, problem framing and prototype learning.
Discuss this service with our founderDesign thinking becomes useful when people can apply it to a situation they recognise. A workshop should help participants observe more carefully, frame a better question and learn from an idea before investing in a finished solution. KYLEE Design’s Discovery, Translation and Trigger philosophy offers a starting point for that process.
Learn from a real situation
The brief begins with the participants and the context: a product team, a group of learners or a cross-disciplinary collaboration. We discuss what they need to practise and what they can realistically explore in the available time. A familiar everyday object can make observation and problem framing more concrete than an abstract innovation exercise.
Make learning visible
A session can be scoped around interviewing and observation, framing a challenge, comparing ideas or building a simple prototype. The emphasis is on explaining a decision and testing an assumption. Outputs may include an observation map, a clearer design question, a concept sketch or a prototype plan, rather than a polished product.
Connect the exercise with design practice
The 128° eraser and Trizuno provide documented product references for discussing how a small detail can shape a design direction. The founder’s profile provides context on the practice and speaking exchanges. These resources offer concrete starting points for observation exercises and a conversation with educators and teams.
A scope we can define together
- Audience and learning-objective brief
- A proposed workshop structure and exercises
- Observation, ideation and prototype-learning materials
- Reflection prompts and agreed follow-up outputs

Before we begin
What do you need to scope a workshop?
Share the audience, number of participants, language, location or online format, available time and desired learning outcomes. We can then discuss an appropriate topic and session structure.
Can a session connect design thinking with AI?
That can be discussed as part of the learning brief. The useful question is which task AI should support and how participants will evaluate its output, while retaining responsibility for observation, judgement and decision-making.
