This paper aims to discuss theoretical/methodological issues concerning the Design process. Grounded by aesthetics and Design Thinking, the study intends to report our interdisciplinary experience involving the courses of Product Design and Aesthetics in the Design Course at Federal University of Paraíba. The option for interdisciplinary dialogue leads us to think about the relationship between designers, products and users. As a result, we could observe that the task of stimulating young Design students to have an aware use of the aesthetic function for the product in the Design process has been successful, thus encouraging them to take action.
