User Archetype

User Archetype is a simple model that shows a group of people who act in similar ways when using a product or service. In Behavioral Design, these models help designers see patterns in how people make choices, what habits they have, and what motivates them. Designers use real data from interviews, surveys, or observation to build these models, which can include details like daily routines, favorite features, and common goals. By focusing on how people behave, not just who they are, designers can shape products that fit into real-life actions and trigger positive habits. This approach helps teams make clear decisions about what to build and how to guide users toward helpful behaviors.
