Design is a set of fields for problem-solving that
uses user-centric approaches
to understand
user needs (as well as business, economic, environmental, social, and other
requirements) to create successful solutions that solve real problems.
Design is
often used as a process to create real change within a system or market.
Too often,
Design is defined only as visual problem solving or communication because of
the predominance of graphic designers.
In other
fields and contexts, Design might only refer to Fashion Design or Interior
Design.

of the similarities between all design disciplines shows a larger overall plan
or strategy by which hypotheses or research questions can be answered
