Human Centered Design Workshop

Human centered design crash course: Keeping users in mind during product development

Day 3 Session 1 (10:30 AM)

Presenters:

Chris Johns

How should you build your tool/product? One approach is to let the needs and preferences of your end users inspire your decision making. This approach, referred to as human- or user-centered design (HCD/UCD), helps ensure that what you build is desirable and usable by the people that you hope will use it. Additionally, it can help foster trust and increase engagement from your intended users.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Provide a crash course on the HCD/UCD process
  • Share and practice simple but effective HCD/UCD activities that help center users at various stages of product development
  • Discuss simple methods to transition from user insight to planning for development
