This document discusses people-centered design and its importance. It argues that design should be centered around people, not just aesthetics, and should involve people in the design process. A people-centered approach involves seeing design from different perspectives, especially those who may be excluded. It encourages designers to see people as individuals who differ physically, mentally, and culturally rather than just as "users." Organizations and designers are encouraged to work directly with people to understand their lives and experiences in order to design for real human needs and emotions.
