Once more with feeling - The role of emotion in design

UXDX Community: Embark on an excellent adventure: From Literalism to emotion in design and discovering your Ikigai 2025

Emotions consume 80% of our lives, while the other 20% is intellect (Lough, 2006). Yet when it comes to service design, it still feels uncomfortable talking about emotions in particular in government. With this statistic in mind, can we really afford to ignore emotions when designing services?

This talk covers the what, the why, and the how of designing for emotions, sharing tools and techniques to help move conversations from dark art to serious strategy.

In this talk, Kerrie combines theoretical models, real-life case studies, and practical techniques to help participants curate their own toolkit to embed emotions in their agile practice.
