For those in SF, Michelle is an amazing speaker and thinker and you should go see her. For those elsewhere - Virtual attendance to #Config2025 is FREE - talk about great ROI! #IDEO #Play
Technology tempts us with promises of making life easier and more efficient, but is that what we really want? Well, sometimes, yes. But always? Probably not. In saving time and energy, what might we lose? One of the many things I love about #play is that—unlike many activities we pursue—it isn’t often about achieving things faster or easier. In fact, we often purposely introduce challenges and obstacles to deepen engagement, meaning, and fun! This year, I'm thrilled to be speaking at Figma #config2025 on the topic of designing for play and deliberate friction. Join me live in San Francisco May 6-8, or virtually from around the world.
