In hopes of finding some inspiration for a throughline of incorporating design thinking with actual product / object design, I found a Coursera offering that seemed to fit the bill. Karl Ulrich taught Design: Creation of Artifacts in Society which gave me a great example of how to incorporate the design process from idea / brainstorming / need finding stage right through several revisions of an actual object.

Here is the link to my blog from that 8 week course with my weekly reflections, processes, drawing exercises and photographs of the product created.
