The User-Centred Design Process

User-Centred Design involves four main steps.

Firstly, designers work with users to identify the context of use, including how, where, and why they might need to use a product.

Next is an understanding of specific user requirements, including what specific tasks need to occur for product users.

The team then creates design solutions, which are evaluated against the identified requirements to see whether they really work for users.

This process continues until the best solutions are found.
