Americans spend a significant amount of money on services—67 percent of total consumer spending, according to the Wall Street Journal. As designers, we play an important role in designing better service experiences. But what exactly is service design? How is designing a service different than designing a website or consumer environment? In a series of affinity sessions at “Pivot: AIGA Design Conference”—curated by Continuum and moderated by Ed Milano, Continuum’s vice president of program development—designers from a variety of industries, who deal with services daily, discussed the entire service-design ecosystem and how designers can craft dynamic, actionable and better overall experiences for the public.
This video was produced by Continuum and was filmed and edited by Cantaloupe.
