The Design Thinking Bootleg is a versatile collection of tools and methods designed to inspire and facilitate the design thinking process. Developed by teaching team members, students, and global designers, this resource offers a deck of cards that can be used flexibly, allowing users to start with any card that resonates with them. The Bootleg includes five distinct "modes" that represent the components of design thinking, with each card color-coded to indicate its association.
