Human-centered design (HCD) is a problem-solving approach that prioritizes deeply understanding the needs, behaviors, and pain points of the people who will use a product or service throughout the design process. It typically involves iterative cycles of research, ideation, prototyping, and testing with real users, popularized by firms like IDEO and frameworks like design thinking. Product designers, UX researchers, and innovation teams use it to ensure solutions are usable and genuinely address user needs rather than assumptions.
