Design Thinking
Design Thinking: A Beginner’s Guide for Teens is an easy-to-digest intro for teens and new creatives who want to understand what design is really about. Over 50 pages, it breaks down the basics in a way that actually makes sense—covering what design thinking is, how it’s used, and why it matters.
Readers get a look at different creative career paths, learn the fundamentals of graphic design, and jump into hands-on activities that help them practice instead of just reading. The goal is to give teens a starting point to explore their creativity, build real design skills, and see how their ideas can turn into something meaningful. It’s a friendly, approachable guide meant to spark curiosity and help young creatives find their place in the design world.
At its core, this book is meant to spark curiosity. If it gets even one teen excited about design or thinking differently, then it’s doing its job.
