#Research

User centered design: focus on the user first, then the design.

##User Describe who will use this design, their workflows, & their motivations?

People who are actively involved with social network feeds, daily apps, and keeping track of their schedules. They can use this dashboard to see different social network feeds all in one place, to view recent emails, and to see their calendar, to-do list, and reminders (that are also linked to their phone).

Their motivation to use this kind of dashboard is the fact that all the daily things they check or read will all be in one area without having to go to three different apps and/or two different websites.
