Design Process:
repeating process steps to continuously improve a work product.
a systematic problem-solving strategy that designers follow to come up with a solution to a problem.
a neuromuscular condition in which muscles on one side of the body are in a constant state of contraction.
a condition that affects body movement and coordination. It is caused by brain injury or brain malformation that occurs before, during, or immediately after birth when an infant’s brain is still developing.
Decision Matrix:
