Summary
A cornerstone of the Seibel Center for Design’s mission, Shehad described HCD as “a problem-solving approach that tries first to identify the unmet need of a certain population. Once this unmet need is identified, we partner with those people … to arrive at a solution.
“This is not easy and usually takes time,” he continues, adding the process takes lots of empathy for the user and iterations to arrive at a solution, but it’s well worth it. “Research shows us that whenever human-centered design is used, your chances of arriving to an innovative or creative or … genuine solution to a problem are way higher.”
Shehab and Bohn have been collaborating to embed HCD in various food science courses, including Bohn’s capstone course, Food Product Development.
