Designing for Meaningfulness means looking further than the immediate interactions with technology and focusing on purpose in life, relationships with others and with ourselves. This talk, aimed at a UX and digital experience audience, helps to expand on this narrative from the perspective of our online experiences and explores:
- How people become participants and engage with products and services
- Our fascination with screens
- Non-Screen, Tangible Devices, what does this mean and what does it mean to product developers and designers, especially in a UX context
- The role of craft in future smart products
- The Mechanics of Meaningfulness – what should we consider when designing for meaningful experiences?
- A set of questions for product developers and designers to consider when designing not just a product, but also an experience.
This talk can be customized to nearly any industry – here’s a testimonial from when it was presented to jewellery designers:
“Thanks a million. Everyone loved it! It will be hard for the next speaker to follow!“
