How can the design process be used to improve existing products or services?

The design process can be used to improve existing products or services by identifying areas of improvement, brainstorming innovative solutions, and implementing these changes. It involves a systematic approach of understanding the user's needs, defining the problem, ideating solutions, prototyping, and testing. This process is iterative, meaning it repeats until the best solution is found. It's not just about aesthetics, but also about improving functionality, efficiency, and user experience.

Question was asked on:

The design process is relevant to processes, social issues, and policy making, not just innovative products or services.
