When designing complex systems, it's easy to become overwhelmed by the magnitude of the task and feel uncertain about the best approach.
Yet, the difficulty of designing a system that takes users on a seamless and meaningful journey might be similar to that of writing a story that takes an audience on a beautiful and memorable voyage.
In this talk, Raphael will introduce an unconventional approach to crafting complex experiences, drawing inspiration from the art of storytelling.
To illustrate this approach, he will share insights from two multi-year projects he's led: A sophisticated mass-data interpretation system for geoscientists, and an acclaimed musical which has won accolades for its innovative storytelling.
Join Raphael as he explores the parallels between designing complex systems and crafting compelling narratives. Discover how adopting a story-driven approach can unlock new possibilities and lead to remarkable outcomes in the realm of user experience design.
