ThinkHub Use Case: Design Process

From orchestrating impactful kick-off meetings to engaging clients, here are several ways designers have improved collaborative aspects of the design process with ThinkHub:

1. Kick-off Meetings

   Kick-off meetings set the stage for design projects. At the start of a project, designers will often create a dedicated Canvas to discuss project goals, objectives, and client expectations. Some even create and save a ThinkHub Canvas to use as a template for future projects, including Groups labeled with important project stages and a kick-off checklist or blank timeline. Once the project information has been entered, this Canvas can be shared with team members, ensuring everyone is aligned from the very beginning.

2. Design Reviews

   Designers can upload design concepts, wireframes, and prototypes, enabling the team to evaluate and provide real-time feedback. The ThinkHub canvas provides a dynamic digital design studio where creative discussions flourish and revisions happen on the spot. Designers can share notes, sketch ideas, and annotate directly on content for precise critiques and real-time feedback.

3. Client Meetings

   Prior to client-facing meetings, members of the design team can create a visually compelling canvas to understand client visions, showcase design concepts, and collaboratively refine ideas. While presenting these concepts to the client, the design team can update the canvas in real-time, incorporating client feedback in the form of notes, revisions, or even updated images, videos, and PDFs.

4. Brainstorming Sessions

   Whether in-person or virtual, designers can use ThinkHub to share and organize ideas visually. ThinkHub's flexibility allows designers to sketch, annotate, and build upon each other's concepts, turning brainstorming sessions into a visual playground of creativity.

5. Internal Team Meetings

   Team members can share progress updates and live site or product images in an internal project canvas. There can even be a designated group to address potential obstacles and challenges. Design teams can pull up a prepared Canvas at the start of internal meetings for easy access to all their web-based tools and previously saved media in one place.
