The first in a new series speaking to creatives, filmed during Lockdown.
I had been working on a series of Lockdown Lectures for Bangor Uni, and realised through creating a series of lectures on Design, Prototyping & User Experience, I was of course thinking of various experiences and people who influenced me. Lillie was one such person, as we both had worked together at LEGO's Creative Play Lay, in Denmark. I've always had huge admiration for Lillie's drive and creativity, but more than many, she excels in getting complex ideas out of her / her team's head - and into others. It seemed a great place to start. Hope you enjoy it!

Some experiences that I love because they invert the idea of HOW we communicate. Less about me standing up and telling you to listen and more about us experiencing the topic together.
We don't have to make a museum to make a point, but take inspiration from all the ways they activate the senses. People remember experiences.

Using immersive storytelling, Moesgaard Museum in Denmark brings the past to life for us when they could have put old stuff in clear boxes with a label. Why can’t we do the same with our presentations?

Futurology/ Foresight/ Future Studies is a practice: I’ve been reading A LOT from all over. So here’s the good old Wiki on the topic if people are curious.

And lastly, this rings true for any form of communication. Have the goods and data to back up what you say when needed, but never forget this from Maya Angelou,
people remember not what you said but how you made them feel from www.goodreads.com
“I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”
