MY APPROACH
User-Centered Design:
A Process Driven by User Needs
I follow a user-centered design (UCD) process in my work, which means that I put the needs of the user at the center of everything I do. This process consists of five stages: research, ideation, prototyping, evaluation, and launch. My design process is iterative, which means that I constantly go back and forth between the different stages. For example, if I get feedback from users that a prototype is too difficult to use, I will go back to the ideation stage and come up with new ideas.
