Year 1
Year 1 is where I learn to develop empathy and understanding of the users. Inexperienced, i had difficulties trying to empathize with the target users and design to meet their needs.
At the end of year 1, I realized that all design begins with insight. Design is almost always done for someone else. To be able to do good designs, I must develop a sense of empathy towards the people i am designing for, gain insights into what they need, what they want, how they behave, feel, and think, and why they demonstrate such behaviors, feelings, and thoughts when interacting with the products.
Design to me is about understanding the needs and wants of the target users and design for them, rather than being overly self-absorbed or self-interested.
