Speculative Design

Presented by:

Sophie Herdzik

Using speculative design, we can more thoroughly think through possible paths & plans for our products, identify some of the consequences of our design decisions today, and create visions of far-future that help to guide decision-making now.

Thinking about the far-future of a product can seem ineffective, as the predictability of our product & the world around it gets harder the farther away we get in time. Yet there are methods of organizing this mess of possibilities into valuable paths that can help your products plan more effectively.

Using speculative design, we can more thoroughly think through possible paths & plans for our products, identify some of the consequences of our design decisions today, and create visions of far-future that help to guide decision-making now.

This presentation will explain the purpose of speculative design, give some effective examples of this method, and share some common design techniques to help you organize the ambiguous future path of your products.
