Know when you just begin a hike and you spend twenty minutes just trying to find where the trail begins? This post is kind of like that. Hello world.

Our apologies, dear reader, this is a poor example of what to expect. Should you return, this article would be buried amongst the most cutting edge insights and damning critiques of the Experience Design industry; from summaries on curated academic articles to future fictions of what may come. Bathe in intellectual rigor and sun in creative curiosity. Join us as, with each new post, we ask the increasing elusive question, What is Experience Design?

But who are we? We are Digital Experience Design masters candidates attending Hyper Island in Manchester, UK. We operate across all of the [Blank] Design disciplines: Service Design, Participatory Design, Human Centered Design, Design Fiction, and new ones being developed everyday.

Join us, Hyper Island’s Digital Experience Designers, in this adventure.
