What is User-Centered Design (UCD)?

User-Centered Design (UCD) is all about creating digital experiences that welcome everyone. It's like building a digital space where your grandma, your tech-savvy friend, and your neighbor with a disability can all hang out and have a great time. UCD makes sure the door is wide open for everyone from the get-go, so nobody feels left out. It's not just about making things look good; it's about making them work well for everyone, no matter how they interact with the digital world. With UCD, we're not just designing; we're creating a digital playground where everyone is invited, and everyone can play.
