Inspiration

HCD Phase 1

The Inspiration stage of Human Centered Design involves creating meaningful solutions that begin with gaining a deep understanding of people's needs. You'll need directly from the people you're designing for as you immerse yourself in their lives and come to deeply understand their needs and aspirations. As long as you keep the desires of the people you're designing for at the heart of your design, you will evolve your ideas into the right solution. The Inspiration phase is all about opening yourself up to creative possibilities and learning on the fly as you go through your design process.

In the Inspiration phase, you will go through 5 steps: Choosing a design challenge, planning your research methods, building your interview guide, adding research methods, and capturing your learnings.
