User-centered design (UCD) is a philosophy and approach to design that prioritizes the needs and preferences of the end-users. It involves shifting the focus of the design process from the expectations and technical aspects of the designers to understanding the goals, behaviors, and desires of the users. UCD emphasizes involving users in the design process through surveys, interviews, observations, and usability testing to gain insights and feedback that inform the design decisions. By considering the users at every stage of the design process, UCD aims to create products, services, or experiences that are intuitive, efficient, and enjoyable to use.
