Human-Centered Design I introduces students to the end-to-end design process through a human-centered and strategic lens. Students learn to conduct user research, uncover insights, frame problems, and generate solutions, emphasizing empathy, inclusivity, and holistic thinking. The course focuses on building a strong foundation in design frameworks, storytelling, and critical analysis, preparing students from diverse backgrounds to approach UX/UI, research, and product challenges thoughtfully. HCD I equips students to think strategically, not just execute, providing the skills and mindset needed for more advanced work in HCD II and future design leadership roles.
