Discovering Human-Centered Design in Practice

Are you curious about Human-Centered Design (HCD) and its relevance in the digital age? Join us for an insightful workshop on February 13 at Shibuya Sakura Stage, where we will cover the fundamentals of HCD in an accessible manner. This session is aimed at both designers and non-designers looking to grasp the core principles of user experience (UX).

In today’s fast-paced environment, discussions around design and UX often feel disconnected and overwhelming. With terms like 'user understanding' being thrown around, many are left wondering what actionable steps they should take. This workshop aims to demystify these concepts, presenting HCD in a way that is both relatable and practical.

What You’ll Learn

During this 90-minute session, expect to gain clarity on the following key areas:

• - Defining ‘user’: Understand who this term really encompasses in the context of design.
• - Usability considerations: Delve into how usability affects the design process and user satisfaction.
• - HCD challenges in organizations: Explore the reasons HCD initiatives often lose traction and how to combat this.
• - Reframing HCD perspective: Gain insights into how to apply HCD within your work or organization.

These discussions will be framed in simple terms, avoiding jargon and instead using everyday examples and interactive workshops to connect concepts to real-world scenarios.
