About Siebel Center for Design

What's Siebel Center for Design? Siebel Center for Design is the only design center of its kind in the country. We practice, model, and teach design thinking and human-centered design in collaboration with all disciplines, majors, and departments at UIUC, as well as our community-at-large. OK, so what's human-centered design? Human-centered design (HCD) is a problem-solving approach that uses design thinking to identify the unmet needs of a population in order to collaboratively and iteratively develop solutions. We believe that HCD is a flexible approach that allows anyone to solve problems in creative and innovative ways, using processes such as empathizing with people, brainstorming ideas, and prototyping solutions.
