User Empathy
User Empathy is a key part of Design Thinking that helps designers see the world from the user's point of view. One practical way to build user empathy is by using empathy mapping, which is a simple tool where designers write down what users say, think, do, and feel during their experience with a product or service. This method helps designers spot hidden needs or feelings that users might not say out loud. By doing this early in the design process, teams can make choices that fit real user situations, leading to designs that feel more personal and useful.
