Speaker: Menaka Chandrasekhar, Senior Product Designer @ PropertyGuru Group

As humans, we are emotionally wired to react to stories. They are the way we make sense of the world around us. It is also the most common tool we use to gather information and share it with others for thousands of years.

For designers, the opportunities are plentiful to become the narrators everyday – from the ideas we dream up in our portfolios, the product interactions that add delight, the presentations that help win minds over to the nuggets of insightful data uncovered from user interviews.

In this session, we will cover the science and techniques of storytelling that you can add to your design toolkit.
