Description:
Interaction Design as Sculpture

So far, we have created mountains of Wireframes, Feature Specs, Personas and Scenarios to get the job done. But we are now at a point in Interaction Design/UX where we need to consider more than just designing usable, useful products and services for the web. People now have higher expectations for transparent, intuitive and simple ways to interact, research, shop and decide. At the same time, CEOs are starting to look at us to solve their hairiest business problems. Easy, right?

Andrew Green an Experience Designer at Avenue A | Razorfish, will explore these new challenges and explain some fresh ways to think and design for them including ideas on Mobile Convenience, Emotional Findability, Interaction Manners, and the general need for all Interaction Designers to stop making sculptures.
