Designers of products and systems often refer to the people for whom they design as “users.” While technically correct, thinking about people as “users” can lead to a reductionist approach that neglects many aspects of the UX, such as our values and emotions. We all have our own unique aspirations and feelings, and these can change based on contexts and interactions. Design teams should uphold responsibility for maintaining awareness of our “users” as people, and they can do so by implementing 3 approaches that will enhance the understanding of UX for all stakeholders.
