designing with data for humans
DESCRIPTION
DESIGNING WITH DATA FOR HUMANS Designers and UX professionals have the opportunity and skills to shape data so it’s understandable, manageable and positively affects lives. Ivo Gasparotto has worked on a team at GE Capital to create an intuitive application for users to manage and manipulate massive amounts of business and operations-related data. The team produced a user-centered application that allows access to data and surfaces unique insights into their business. Ivo will share what he’s learned about using design to make data more meaningful for people in the ways they do business and connect with the world.TRANSCRIPT

“How can I look at the problem from different vantage points? !
How can I look at this information? Can it be made to look smaller? Can I see it in context? How can I pull myself out of the situation? How do I see it by changing scale?” !!-Richard Saul Wurman, Information Anxiety
