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.
