Antipersona

Research & Discovery

A deliberately excluded user archetype that defines who the product is NOT designed for. Antipersonas help teams resist scope creep by articulating the segment whose needs would require compromising core design principles or the business model. Making exclusions explicit is as strategically valuable as defining target users.
