Human centered design is a creative approach to problem solving that is centered around the end-user. When it comes to problem solving much like design thinking human centered design focuses on the person before the product or organization. It's all about how you think and what you want to do with that to help create better solutions for the end-user. Human centered design has a process of three steps that are used in order to solve problems creatively.
The first step to human centered design is inspiration, which is learning to open up to creative ideas and possibilities while also staying grounded to fit the needs of the user. In this stage people learn to expand and explore every possible idea as opposed to sticking to ideas that will not help in unique situations. Second step to human centered design is ideation. In this step, designers explore possible experiments to see how they can get their idea out there. This is where prototyping comes in handy because it is used as an experiment to narrow down how the product will work efficiently for the user will taking into consideration the users opinion of the method used to promote the product. The last and final step is implementation. Designers use the implementation to create Partnerships with other organizations in order to get their idea out into the world, Making Connections very important in this step.
Human centered design is important because it helps check any assumptions that may be made about the product, ultimately expanding on new ideas that may be forgotten, it can change the way resources are used so that we don't waste our time with pointless methods, and it creates Partnerships which bring together people to make better ideas if the first one doesn't work out.
I think that human centered design can help us in many ways to make products organizations and even activities better for humans and the world. It can be used by anyone to improve ideas that could potentially become more efficient and better for newly developing unique problems. Human centered design, like creative thinking and design thinking, are becoming more important to humans as time goes by because it presents better Solutions that will ultimately benefit mankind and keep us from wasting time on solutions that may benefit one group over another and ultimately letting people know that organizations are working for their best interests and are listening so that they could help solve their problems. This type of creative thinking encourages working for the greater good and bringing Unity into our society, especially during dire times such as inequality, natural disasters, and uncontrollable circumstances. Human centered design is the best way to solve problems, and hopefully it will spark change in many corporations, organizations, and groups of people to think about their fellow humans and the best interests of the people who brought them up as opposed to themselves. We are all capable of human centered design and we should embrace it for a better future.
