November 2022: Designing with Emotional Intelligence

This month, we’re thrilled to welcome past Fluxible speaker Pamela Pavliscak to our UWaterloo session, and she’ll share insights into designing with emotional intelligence.

The spectrum of emotions we feel when we use technology is vast—a brief thrill when our post receives a lot of attention, low-grade anxiety scanning a news site, a wash of shame when we see ourselves reflected back in recommendations, a strange sense of community with a bunch of strangers over the latest viral trend. And yet, the range of emotions we explicitly design for is quite small. In this talk, we’ll look at how to move past design for delight and start to address fears, give outrage an outlet, and build trust by keeping emotions at the center of design.
