  • Involves understanding and incorporating users' motivations, emotions, preferences, and feedback throughout the design lifecycle

Characteristics of UCD

  • Iterative Research: Focus on understanding end-users' behaviors, with design decisions driven by insights gathered from user research, observation, and feedback
  • Iterative Design Process: Involves iterative cycles of prototyping, testing, and refinement
  • Collaborative Design: Emphasizes collaboration between designers, stakeholders, and end-users through design workshops, participatory design sessions, and other collaborative activities
  • Empathy: Focuses on empathy for users' experiences and perspectives in the design process, with designers striving to empathize with users' goals, motivations, and challenges
  • Flexibility and Adaptability: Acknowledges that user needs and preferences may evolve over time, with design solutions designed to be flexible and adaptable, allowing for ongoing iteration and refinement based on changing user requirements
