The Four Suits of Design -Gamified Workshop- by Candice Storm

Dear fellow UX-ers,

Come and join us at our next workshop! Ladies That UX Utrecht is getting ready to welcome you to another in-person event. We hope to see you there!

This month we offer you a very special experience. Step out of your comfort zone and take part in this game that touches a mix of personas, behavioural science, empathy, psychology, impact of design, strategy, communication & editorial / visual content design, & real time decision making.

// About the Workshop
This game play centres around various elements of Design Thinking, using the double diamond as a demonstrative foundation. The exercises and tasks we get to work on are influenced by the outcomes of the games we will be playing, making this a very interactive workshop with many variable takeaways.

Customised to you personally!
To ensure that you get a unique human centred experience, shaped to resonate with you on a personal level, the facilitator asks you for a couple of answers. Based on these answers you will get specific roles and instructions.

To participate in this workshop, our facilitator Candice asks for some more personal details including IQ range and personality type. This will be used in a role playing game. All your data will be deleted at the end of the workshop and we will not copy or use it anywhere else outside of the workshop*!***

Please visit the linked page below to take a closer look at the questions. If you want to participate in this workshop, please fill in your details.

Bring your laptop
For some tasks in the workshop, we will be using a website. Therefore it is important to bring your own laptop to be able to participate. On the website you will also enter data, nothing personal and only relating to the game. We would like to keep this data so that we can showcase certain outcomes of the games, and the data is in no way linked to any of your personal details only to the general team and character relating to gameplay.
