Creativity, an ability for any creative agent such as artists, musicians, and designers, is often inaccurately understood as a gift of an elite few talented people. Since everyone is creative, however, this perception is not always true. By applying several theoretical notions of human creativity including bisocia-tion, lateral thinking, and co-design, this paper insists that creativity may be accelerated when an individual creativity work with group creativity through recombining, transforming or merging individual's feeling, experience, knowledge into a new combination. Since a collective creativity is understood as a collaborative endeavor among a group of people including designers and ordinary people, combining individual's thoughts, different experience, and unique expertise would be a critical process to generate innovative and creative ideas. Based on this notion in mind, this paper introduces a method to conduct an effective collectively creative process in a co-designing situation. Particularly, the method will allow people to share, learn, exploit their ideas so that they could have own individual creativity as well as collective creativity in a codesign situation.
