Jeanine Harriman & Liya Zheng
February 5 9:00AM
Workshop Fee: $250.00 USD
Interaction Design is a young field that spans many industries. Many of us learned the tools of the trade on the job. Because of this, there is a rich untapped number of approaches out there yet to be shared.
This workshop is intended to bring together conference participants who are interested in seeing how others practice the craft. At the end of the workshop, you will understand how different design approaches yield different solutions and be more conscious about how to think about a problem differently from what you do now.
This workshop will be highly collaborative. It is designed to foster exchange of ideas between people of all different backgrounds working in the industry. We will start with a short presentation on how we have done our work in different circumstances. Then we break into teams to design an experience. The exercise is intended to push boundaries of what it means to do IxD. At the end of the exercise, you will be asked to visually communicate to the group your method of solving the problem. The goals of this presentation are to share how different practices yield different results and to have a facilitated discussion to discover themes in our practice.
