As a trainer, I had the privilege of designing and leading an intensive 2-day training on Emotional Design, a revolutionary approach to integrating emotions at the heart of the user experience. As an expert in this field, I developed a comprehensive training program covering both the theoretical fundamentals and practical applications of Emotional Design: ▪ Definition, key concepts and the role of emotions in UX ▪ User-centered design methodologies and empathy phases ▪ Exploration of the palette of emotions and levels of emotional attachment ▪ Analysis of emotional needs and emotionally impactful brand identities ▪ User research techniques, mascot design and management of emotional peaks ▪ Workshops on designing emotional elements, user journeys and captivating prototypes Through my solid expertise and dynamic teaching approach, I was able to provide participants with in-depth knowledge and concrete methodologies to design truly memorable and emotionally engaging experiences. The case studies, practical exercises and encouraging feedback from participants attest to the quality and impact of this training on their ability to successfully integrate Emotional Design into their future projects.
