Fluxible Meetup with Linn Vizard

Brown Bag Lunch: There's a map for that! Designer's guide to making useful maps

12:00pm – 1:00pm EST Tuesday 18 Sep 2018Communitech Hub

Why are designers making so many maps these days? Customer journey maps, empathy maps, experience maps, stakeholder maps and strategy roadmaps… We make maps to draw insight, catalyze ideas, get on the same page, and understand complex experiences and processes. At the experience layer, we use maps to drive decisions that impact end users as well as those who deliver services.

How did we get here? What are all these different types of maps? How can you go about folding them into your practice? And what are some things to keep in mind when making design maps?

Let’s talk about maps!
