DESCRIPTION

When we design for experience, subtle and peculiar shifts come into play that demand a uniquely empathic way of thinking about our practice. We’re no longer designing for an ‘audience’ or ‘viewers’ through our previously static / mass mediated, one-way delivery of the information and designs we’re communicating. Instead, when we consider aspects of interactive engagement for our ‘users’ to experience — we need to thoughtfully dream up the actual stories we’re asking the people in our audience to actively live out. In this talk we discuss the benefits of putting story at the center of a human-centered design approach to improve the design process as well as the quality of the total human experience we’re ultimately all creating through our work. I delivered this installment of the storyFirst talk at the very first UXBoston Conference on Saturday, July 19th 2014 at the Microsoft NERD Center in Kendall Square, Cambridge, Massachusetts { further details about the conference can be found at: http://www.meetup.com/uxboston/events/136304392/ }. Stay tuned for further public speaking installments of the storyFirst Approach by visiting: http://storyfirst.org and http://myownmindllc.com and http://loususi.com. Any UXBoston Conference attendees that would like to provide comments or feedback on the talk can graciously visit my SpeakerRate page for the presentation at: http://spkr8.com/t/34281 — I truly appreciate any continued conversation, critical feedback and other discussion as it will help me continue to develop the concepts we discussed at the conference for further clarity and development as a more and more valuable approach to experience design for both personal human-centered design and professional team-based experience design collaborations.
