This Design Thinking Bootleg, developed by the Stanford d.school, offers a set of tools and methods for design thinking. It collects a series of insights and guidelines to be used in practice and useful to refresh our knowledge of this design method. These instruments are useful for the most practical aspects of design thinking, to escape the slumps of ideation, coordination, management, that designers and leaders can find in action. It was developed by teaching team members, students, as well as designers from around the world.

The bootleg is a deck of cards. Each of them presents practical examples and heuristics useful for action and inspiration in design thinking processes, both at individual and collective level. Each card of the Bootleg is relevant for one or more of the five components of design thinking: empathize, define, ideate, prototype, test.
