45 minute talk about the issues of designing for wonder, awe and transcendence.
The talk was focused around three stories - By The Sea, In The Mountains and In The City - from my life.
These slides were designed as an experience for the conference and are not designed to be comprehensible without those personal stories. If you want to understand more, please invite me to give the talk. It is fun and serious.

Thank you I’ve come to talk about going from user experience design to human experience design. The good, the bad and the simply terrifying.
People buy experiences. People seek out experiences. People look for them. They always have.
The enormity of the universe and our individual smallness has been obvious for 10’s of thousands of years.
We coped with this by doodling patterns onto the hugness. Graffiti or wireframes? You choose. We made the unknowably vast ours by drawing pictures onto it.
