What is Human Centered Design?
<aside> š¬ It is essentially an approach to problem-solving that prioritizes the needs of the end users to create solutions. It involves empathizing with the people you are building for and developing a solution through 3 main components known Inspiration, Ideation, & Implementation.
</aside>
The human-centered design approach allows me to emphasize understanding who the customer is, and understanding the current process of how they currently solve the problem at hand. This means our process is lean and iterative. which allows us to constantly run experiments to validate our findings and pivot as needed.
