What is experience design?


“Experience design (XD) is the practice of designing products, processes, services, events, omnichannel journeys, and environments with a focus placed on the quality of the user experience and culturally relevant solutions.”

“How one Boutique uses Technology to help More Brides Say Yes to the Dress”

https://www.entrepreneur.com/article/244292

● Mom ran the business for years

● Daughter joined after college, started thinking about how technology could help:

○ Learn about customers ahead of time by surfing media online

○ Tailor match-ups to personalities

○ Solve in-store bottlenecks at the design desk and checkout by creating tablet-friendly shopping app

○ Promote w/in-store selfies with company name and hashtags


Part 1: Experience Design Examples


More examples“You have to remember that people always enter a

space with different intents, goals, and mindsets and

you have to take into consideration that people have

various attention spans. Some people will be willing

to engage more with your environment, whilst others

will just pass through the space.”

“Starbucks Rewards: Made even better with the app”

Still more examples...● Using an app to check in for flights and as your boarding pass at the gate

● Employees using tablets at the drive-through (In-N-Out, Chick-Fil-A, etc.) to help to take orders and cut down wait times

● Using a 3D-enabled smartphone to take a picture of a room and test out new furniture / layouts (Lowe’s + Wayfair.com)

● Taking a picture of a check to make a deposit

● More...

If it ain’t broke...Adobe Lightroom recently changed it’s mobile display and it’s driving my wife crazy.

● Photographers create multiple instances of their pics w/subtle changes to filters, levels, etc.

● Now it’s really hard to pick them out for importing!

“In its first era, design was seen as a problem solver; it has now moved into a second era where it’s seen as a creator of meaningful experiences.”
