COZETTE
Hopes to merge her passion for others with her interest in design by finding a work environment that allows her to design for the different types of individuals who have impacted her life. She believes good eye contact and a listening ear are why people love to open up to her and spill their life stories, including all the noteworthy details. She hopes that this skill along with her interests in design thinking, research, and design will help to make her the best designer she can possibly be.

PROCESS
Cozette Kosary's Design Process is a fusion of Hugh Dubberly's "The Creative Process" with Tim Brown's "Design Thinking Process."
1. Begin with a design problem.
2. Observe the current situation by looking at users, what they are doing, and how they are feeling.
3. Once you understand the situation, brainstorm what the problem is and ways you can gain more insight about it.
4. Make something to gain more information or to better the situation.
5. Test what you made on users.
6. Observe how users respond to what you made.
7. Evaluate if and how the situation changed.
8. Reflect on the situation by empathizing with users and applying theories to what you made.
9. Iterate the process by: making decisions on how to improve your results; testing what was made; observing tests; evaluating tests; reflecting on the results; and iterating again.
10. Repeat until a new product, service, or system emerges.
