Lorraine’s Most Popular Keynotes
The Future of Design
We interact with hundreds of products, and hundreds of different sensory stimuli every day from the moment our bed gently shakes us awake and takes our vitals until the minute our head hits our temperature-controlled pillow and we close our eyes on the sun setting clock we asked to wake us up at seven in the morning. This talk will take the audience on a condensed journey of technology and lifestyle to sensitize your audience to technology acceptance and rejection. How much technology do you- and your consumers – want?
Audiences walk away understanding:
• The broad range of consumer technology likes and dislikes that are not just a generational issue.
• An in-depth understanding of what your audience members would personally require from technology in their future.
• Where we are as a society in the continuum between technology and the human condition.
Leading Design in a Context of Cultural Differences
What makes a product a success in one country and a failure in another? Why do we wince when something just does not seem right? In this talk, audiences’ laugh and cringe as Lorraine sensitizes audiences to understanding potential design flaws in a cultural context.
