Service Design: an Interaction Design Perspective

Session Title

Service Design: an Interaction Design Perspective

Presenter

Jamin Hegeman, Nokia

Session Type: Presentation

What role do interaction designers have in service design? What is service design? How is it different from interaction design? Or is it not? This talk will explore these questions by looking at service design projects, including a project with the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center Neurosurgery Clinic. As an interaction designer with service design education and experience, I will offer my insights what skills and methods interaction designers need work in this emerging area of design.
