Please describe what is Design Innovation based on the article "What is Design Innovation? by Alex Obenauer". Please cite some examples to elaborate your observations. Design innovation focuses on improving the design aspect of products that might seem that it has reached its maximum potential or too mundane to even be cared about. To be able to create innovation through design, one must acquire a great sense of taste, creativity and most importantly empathy. "Good design innovation is deeply empathetic". Being able to emphasize allows us to see through the perspective of our users and understand what may have been their problems when faced with products. This is crucial in identifying what to solve, as innovations are born from unarticulated needs. "Good design innovation...
