You are in lockdown or almost there, or you are watching it on TV and your phone... As a creative person, or an aspiring designer or User Experience pro or ally, these are strange times, indeed. Toilet paper, hand sanitizer and people stocking up on comfort foods make for interesting material, but at the core, you need to think about what all this means, and you need to find time to keep your creative, innovative edge sharp (and avoid depression and despair).
During a time of pandemic and extreme systemic change happening before our eyes, it is important to not only keep learning but build resilience and inner resourcefulness. In this webinar, Frank Spillers walks you through a different way to experience the COVID-19 crisis. He will share ways you can keep your cognitive skills sharp and build on training yourself with tools to fuel your User experience designer journey-- during and after the pandemic ends.
A key challenge during COVID-19 is how to learn long-lasting lessons that can change how you design and how you contribute to the world, your company or your project. In this webinar, we will look at design 'heroes' like Leonardo Da Vinci, Buckminster Fuller, and Steve Jobs and learn from their contributions and struggles to use design to change paradigms. We will explore several key techniques from Service Design and UX Design and learn how to leverage those to increase your design smarts whether you are a designer or contribute to design efforts, you will be introduced to tools that are critical going forward.
