Storytelling in Design Lunch & Learn

Dr. Lennart Nacke will present a lively introduction to storytelling in design. You’ll gain valuable insights into how engaging narratives can be used to create empathy, make connections, clarify meaning, and enhance user experience design in both digital and non-digital applications.

More than 135 registrants from Waterloo's main campus, the Stratford School of Interaction Design and Business and other institutions, descended upon the Stratford School Saturday morning to participate in StoryCamp, a 15-hour design competition on multimodal storytelling.

Researchers led by Lennart Nacke, Associate Professor at the Stratford School of Interaction Design and Business, have developed a novel tool that will enable user-experience designers to create more effective, personalized games and marketing campaigns.
