"Doing" in this case means to "pick" or "choose". This is not a very common use of the verb "do". The word "doing" instead of "picking" or "choosing" is most likely used in this case to sound different and unique. Here's another example of "do" with the meaning of "choose": Ex: I wanted to do that topic for the project but she's already doing it.
