TRY GOOGLING "HUMAN-CENTERED DESIGN"
@RebeccaDestello | #hcdintro
Fail faster, so you
can succeed
sooner.
David Kelley, The guy that put Human-Centered
Design on the map, and founder of IDEO
https://events.umich.edu/event/50717
@RebeccaDestello | #hcdintro
TL;DR: HUMAN-CENTERED DESIGN IS
UNDERSTANDING USER
PROBLEMS AND THEN
SOLVING THEM
@RebeccaDestello | #hcdintro
Can't I just design based on
my own experiences?
BUT WAIT, I HAVE THAT PROBLEM TOO!
@RebeccaDestello | #hcdintro
Merely being the victim
of a particular problem
does not automatically
bestow on one the power
to see its solution.
Alan Cooper, Smart guy and all-around design badass who
among a million other things also wrote “The Inmates Are
Running the Asylum”

Design is not what
it looks and feels
like. Design is how
it works.
Steve Jobs, Some famous guy who invented
some stuff
https://www.theverge.com/2011/10/27/2517152/book-review-steve-jobs-by-walter-isaacson
@RebeccaDestello | #hcdintro
Because it focuses your work
on the user and roots your
decisions in data.
OKAY, BUT WHY USE A FRAMEWORK?
@RebeccaDestello | #TIDEconference@RebeccaDestello | #hcdintro
THE HCD FRAMEWORK HELPS YOU
Know where to begin
More reliable than intuition
Reminds you to continuously improve
Keep the user at the center your decisions
@RebeccaDestello | #hcdintro
A designer's expertise lies not in the
thing they are designing, their expertise
lies in knowing how to apply a framework
for design.

bad while networking at a conference. Ask them:
• "Tell me about your experience networking at a conference. What works and doesn’t work
when it comes networking?"
• Use “Why?”, “Tell me more”, and “How did that feel?” to go deeper and learn more.
• Identify at least one goal and one need your user has.
