What is a participatory design process?

A participatory design process is a design approach that involves active involvement and collaboration between designers, users, and stakeholders throughout the entire design process. It allows users and stakeholders to share their ideas, experiences, and needs, which designers can use to create solutions that truly meet their requirements. The goal of participatory design is to create user-centered and collaborative design solutions that are more responsive to the needs and preferences of the end-users. It is a user-driven design approach that emphasizes empathy, creativity, and diversity of perspectives.
