Adventures in Experience Design

What a fun ride! Adventures in Experience Design cruises through the essentials, never slowing down for a lengthy explanation. Instead, you get memorable challenges, friendly, instructional feedback, and examples we can all relate to… or laugh at! Seriously, what other design book talks of “fat vs skinny questions” or narwhal enthusiasts?! Hands down the most playful, jargon-free way to jump into the vibrant world of user experience design. --Stephen Anderson, author of Seductive Interaction Design and Mental Notes

Identifying needs and solving them creatively will make you an invaluable designer. Adventures in Experience Design is an accessible and fun way to learn these powerful skills and apply them. The lessons in this book will advance your abilities as a designer and help you stand out like a pro. --Jason Eastman, Strategic Partner Development, Hasbro

Useful, practical, accessible and fun! --Dave Gray, author of Gamestorming and The Connected Company

Whether you are a dabbler or diver, a student or a teacher, a learner earning a degree or a DIY-er, there are plenty of ideas to pursue and exercises to attempt. I’m an educator, and when I read I cannot help but think of how to turn ideas into curriculum - which questions to pose, which activities to catalyze, which collaborations to encourage - and Carolyn and Anna have already done that.  I feel as if I’m cheating on a test because the work has already been completed, and yet I’ll still earn credit for offering my students an inspiring, purpose-driven, and relevant course! --Eric Davis, Founder/Director of the Global Citizenship Experience & GCE High School

Anna and Carolyn have done a brilliant job of breaking down the design processes in a fun and interactive way. A thoroughly enjoyable and inspiring read! --Betsy Fore, CEO & Founder of Wondermento.com
