Experiences change us.
Design makes this intentional.
Welcome to the professional home for people who shape human encounters, across every medium, in every field.
Every experience changes the people who pass through it. How they’re changed, what they take away, interpret, and become, can be understood through many lenses: how people learn, feel, behave, and make meaning. Experience design is the practice of shaping that change with intention.
The Experience Design Guild brings together established practitioners who share an outcome-led, medium-agnostic way of working. We come from many fields and we design for many forms, online and in person, hybrid and physical. What we hold in common is a way of thinking about experience, and a care for its lasting, human effects.
Uniting a multidisciplinary field.
A coherent home for a powerful design community that has, until now, been scattered across sectors and called by many names.
Researching human experiences.
Our distinctive contribution is the multidisciplinary lens of human sciences: a rigorous way of understanding how experiences form and change people.
Future-proofing careers.
Postdigital by instinct. We design for humans first, protecting and promoting natural ways of experiencing the world. AI can’t do what we do.
The Guild is in its founding phase and there are lots of opportunities to shape its future. We are welcoming founding members from any experience design discipline or related field.
We are also recruiting prospective trustees and volunteers from a mixture of backgrounds and levels of experience, to establish a charitable entity. If you’re interested in joining the new board but have no prior board experience, please get in touch and we’ll let you know what’s involved.
