This paper examines the creative methods involved in coming up with design opportunities for problem spaces. The research worldview taken was pragmatism and an exploratory study was carried out using qualitative methods like case studies and unstructured interviews. A literature review was carried out and a framework for study was prepared. The case studies carried out as per this framework were examined for learning. This learning was further consolidated as findings of the exploratory study. It is envisaged that the research will bring in some understanding on the initial stage of the project and how certain methods could lead to a creative way of arriving at design opportunities in the initial phase of design.
