This course from the University of Leeds explains how to get results by placing people at the center of any design process.

Anything you create or build will likely fail if you forget about your end user.

Doing your research and immersing yourself in the user flow removes the tendency to rely on assumptions or focus on aesthetics rather than function.

Produced by the University of Leeds and the Institute of Coding, designers Ryzard Akita and Kim Plowright lead this FutureLearn course.

Akita is a digital product designer with ten years of experience, and Plowright is a creative producer working on high-profile design-led projects in the U.K.

The course explains how to leverage human-centered design philosophy to solve problems using a set of key principles and strategies.
