What is User-Centered Design methodology? (UCD)

User-Centered Design is a methodology that goes beyond the user and their environment.

User Centered Design is a methodology that goes beyond the user and their environment, focusing on what is behind them; feelings, behaviour, context or requirements.

Benefits include improved products with less cost and fewer risks, opportunity identification, and identifying problems at early stages.

The design is based on explicit understanding of the user throughout the whole process. It is an iterative design process with multidisciplinary teams.

Popular tools include Figma, Adobe XD, Sketch and Wireflow.
