Experience With Design Mode

Our groups' experience with the design thinking define mode was an exciting time, laying down the foundation for subsequent processes. Our team has grown to move swiftly and has become very adept at working off and elaborating upon each others' ideas. Additionally, Camille did a stellar job in being our process lead; she brought great organization and communication, and this approach was incredibly productive for our team.
