talks

I offer talks for design teams and student classes about experience prototyping, interaction technology and my work as a designer and technologist. I've spoken at national and international events including TEDx, FITC, Ars Electronica and the Royal Geographical Society.

Experience prototyping keynote

New product ideas begin life as sketches, roadmaps and data-driven research. Saying yes to these new ideas is hard. You can't get a gut feeling for a new experience when there's nothing to actually feel yet.

Experience prototyping is the tool that gets you there. It answers the critical question "how does this make me feel?" with rapid, early stage prototyping to define and test the future product & user experience

I offer a 30 minute keynote presentation on Experience Prototyping. The talk shares stories, case studies, design concepts and prototyping techniques for how to bring confidence to early-stage decision making, rapidly evaluating radical new ideas. I've presented versions of this talk to design teams in the UK, Europe and USA.
