A respected user experience (UX) colleague on LinkedIn recently posed a
rather interesting question: Are not UX design thinking and
user-centered design (UCD) the same thing? It suddenly occurred to me
that, while I almost instinctively recognize the distinction between the
two, many people probably don’t think of them as two different
perspectives. Aside from the overly technical description offered in Wikipedia,
I see design thinking, and more specifically UX design thinking, as a
pervasive perspective whereby I constantly critique the world for design
flaws that promote incorrect behaviors. Conversely, I see UCD as just a
methodology for creating usable designs.
