Canonical page: https://career.thegoodapps.co/skills/user-centered-design

User-centered design is a design philosophy and iterative process that prioritizes the needs, behaviors, and feedback of end users at every stage of product development, from research and ideation through prototyping and testing. Practiced by UX designers and product teams, it typically involves user interviews, personas, usability testing, and iterative refinement rather than designing based on internal assumptions. The approach aims to produce products that are more intuitive, effective, and satisfying for the people who actually use them.
