This second phase of my mentorship was primarily further discussing concepts with my mentor, Grace. I was struggling with this ideating part the most. The feedback that she gave me was that I needed to generate more questions around the problem and she gave me a lot of tips around good design thinking. It was a new way of ideating for me. One of the problems I was also struggling with was choosing a specific problem to tackle because Zero Waste encompasses a lot of different aspects. We communicated through email during this phase because I was running slightly behind schedule and sent her some notes from my document of questions I formulated and potential ideas that could come out of those.

I would give myself 9\/10 for this phase because I worked extremely hard to deliver as much as possible and keep on schedule. I learned a lot about ideating with my mentor and being able to create problem-solving questions to surround my design around.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
