Brainstorming produces a wide range of possible solutions, and the next step is design. In the design phase you take those ideas and turn them into a concrete plan: you decide which ideas to pursue, outline how the solution will work, specify the components and how they will interact, and set criteria to meet the requirements. This phase creates the blueprint that guides building a prototype or final product and sets you up for testing and iteration. For context, defining the problem comes before brainstorming, and testing comes after building, so design naturally follows brainstorming as the logical next step.
