Understanding what users need is really important when we create effective personas. Here’s why:
Empathy: This means we try to see things from the users' point of view. When we know what bothers them, what drives them, and how they act, we can make personas that feel real and relatable.
Relevance: If our personas match real users, we’re more likely to come up with solutions that really work for them. To do this, we need to talk to people through interviews, surveys, and research to collect honest feedback.
Focus: Having a clear idea of what users need helps keep our design process on track. It helps us decide which features matter the most for the people we’re designing for.
Testing and Validation: When we really understand our users, we can make sure our personas are accurate by testing how they respond to different designs. This way, we can be sure our personas truly represent the audience we want to reach.
From my experience, when we get the user needs just right, the whole design process flows better and feels more natural!
