Emotionally Intelligent Design

Live Webinar September 8th, 2016 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM EDT
Activity Type: Education – Course or Training  1 Hour  1 PDU free
Provider: O’Reilly

 We know what makes people click,
But we don’t know as much about how they feel.

Feeling is as important as form and function, and yet emotion is not always part of the design process.

How do we design technology that prioritizes connection on an emotional level?

Pamela Pavliscak draws on the hallmarks of emotional intelligence—perceiving, understanding, communicating, and managing—to create a meaningful approach to emotional design that moves beyond delight.

Pamela explores the ways technology engages emotion and outlines a framework that supports designing for emotion.

You’ll leave armed with techniques to understand the emotional connection in design.

Presenter:  Pamela Pavliscak  (LinkedIn profile, @paminthelab) is founder of Change Sciences, a user experience research and strategy firm for Fortune 500s, and other smart companies. Over the past 15 years, she’s logged thousands of hours in the field trying to better understand how people use technology and run hundreds of UX studies on almost every type of site you could imagine. Connected to users and their user experiences, Pamela sifts through messy data for patterns, and writes/speaks about how to create better UX’s. Read her blog, People, Pixels & Percentages.
