February 2018: Understanding problem spaces, with Indi Young

We’re delighted that past Fluxible speaker Indi Young will be joining us for a remote session on understanding problem spaces.

For Indi, the problem space is about understanding people and their larger purpose. Exploration of these spaces comes with letting go of thinking of solutions for a time. In todays presentation and discussion, Indi will outline what a problem space is, how to navigate the ambiguity of the problem space with empathy, and demonstrate techniques to explore problems and bring creative solutions. Join us, and bring along some questions for Indi.

Indi Young is the author of two books, Practical Empathy and Mental Models, and has presented at over 40 conferences worldwide — did we mention Fluxible? In 2001, Young co-founded Adaptive Path, a groundbreaking UX agency with the mission to transform communities through design. Young received her bachelors in computer science from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. In her early projects, Young realized that there was a gap between what her team knew, as engineers and creators, and what people were trying to ultimately accomplish. Young’s career has been dedicated to closing this gap.
