Form follows function. Designed for a human to use it in the most intuitive and efficient manner.

Example: Look how cars are designed for a driver to have access to everything with minimal need to take their eyes off the road.

Design that works for a human.

Like if your phone had a keyboard on the front but a screen on the back it would be the opposite of human centered design.

It starts with empathy for the user. Identifying problems, pain points and unmet needs. Then ideating to come up with solutions.

But at the core, it’s focusing on the user.

The basic idea is that whatever is being designed should conform and adapt to the needs, preferences, abilities, and shortcomings of the human — rather than the other way around.
