Definition: The process of creating products that are easy to use, efficient, and enjoyable for the user.
Key aspects:
- Usability: How easy it is for the user to accomplish their goals.
- Accessibility: Ensuring the product is usable by people with disabilities.
- Information architecture: Organizing content to make it easy to find and use.
- Visual design: Creating an aesthetically pleasing and intuitive interface.
UX design process:
1. User research: Understanding the user's needs and behaviors.
2. User personas: Creating fictional user profiles to guide design decisions.
3. Wireframing: Creating low-fidelity sketches of the product's layout and functionality.
4. Usability testing: Testing the product with real users to identify issues.

Definition: A preliminary version of a product used to test and refine its design.
Types of prototypes:
- Low-fidelity prototypes: Simple, rough designs used for initial testing and feedback.
- High-fidelity prototypes: Detailed, realistic designs used for usability testing and refinement.
Prototyping methods:
- Paper prototyping: Creating low-fidelity prototypes using paper and pencil.
- Digital prototyping: Creating interactive prototypes using software such as Sketch or Figma.
- Rapid prototyping: Quickly creating and testing multiple iterations of a prototype.
Benefits of prototyping:
- Identifies design flaws early: Reduces the risk of costly redesigns later in the development process.
- Improves user experience: Ensures the product meets the user's needs and is easy to use.
- Enhances collaboration: Facilitates communication and feedback among designers, developers, and stakeholders.

Definition: A problem-solving approach that emphasizes empathy, creativity, and experimentation.
Design thinking process:
1. Empathize: Understanding the user's needs and problems.
2. Define: Defining the problem and identifying opportunities for innovation.
3. Ideate: Generating a wide range of potential solutions.
4. Prototype: Creating and testing prototypes to refine the solution.
5. Test: Testing and iterating on the solution to ensure it meets the user's needs.
Key principles of design thinking:
- User-centered design: Focusing on the user's needs and experiences.
- Experimentation and iteration: Embracing failure and continuous improvement.
- Collaboration and communication: Working together with stakeholders and users to co-create solutions.
