codesign

Partner in creation

Codesign is collaborative design involving multiple stakeholders, especially end users, in the creative process.

Rather than designers working in isolation, codesign brings together those who will use a product or service: The city codesigned the new park with neighborhood residents.

The approach is common in software development, urban planning, and healthcare.

Also spelled co-design.
