context-driven design

Context-driven design is a method that focuses on understanding the specific environment, users, and circumstances in which a product or service will be used. Instead of relying solely on generic features or assumptions, it emphasizes tailoring solutions to real-world conditions, user behaviors, and needs. By analyzing context—such as location, tasks, or workflows—designers create more effective, intuitive, and relevant experiences. This approach ensures that the final outcome fits seamlessly into the user's environment, making it more useful and satisfying.
