4. USERS TODAY, OFTEN TAKE UNIQUE, INDIVIDUAL
PATHS THROUGH YOUR EXPERIENCE.
16. This new model was still quite complex.
To solve for this complexity we do two things:
1. create emotional marker moments
2. design self-contained interactions
18. Decision-making is a process that where we tag
our experiences with emotions. Those tags later
drive our memory of those experiences.
Emotional markers can be tied
to contexts or situations letting
people short-hand decision-
making later on.
SOMATIC MARKER HYPOTHESIS,
ANTONIO DAMASIO
19. More simply put, emotions are the “the dominant
driver in most meaningful decisions in life”.
Emotion and Decision Making, 2014: http://scholar.harvard.edu/files/jenniferlerner/files/annual_review_manuscript_june_16_final.final_.pdf
20. Marker moments allow us
to over-deliver on
emotions in a few places
without having to design
for every different path.

22. Marker moments allow us
to over-deliver on
emotions in a few places
without having to design
for every different path.
23. How do I find them?
Three guidelines:
Positive & Negative
Markers
Especially positive or negative
emotions in a decision making
process are more likely to be
recalled and thus influential
on making a decision.
Peak-End Rule
People are most likely to remember
the end of an experience / decision
making process.
So when reflecting back on an
experience (and telling others about
it), the end is especially important.
Length is Irrelevant
Often we assume that long, drawn
out experiences are best
remembered.
But research indicates the duration of
the experience actually has no
bearing on how a person recalls an
experience after it’s completion.

28. The path is collapsing into a single interaction
that may need to fulfill multiple functions.
Therefore modern experiences must do far more
work in far less time and space.
30. AWARENESS
MANAGEMENT
EMPATHY
BRAND
Aware:
The experience knows what the user needs
without asking. What human needs are we
trying to meet?
Manage:
Understanding resources that can address the
need adequately and beyond expectations. How
can we meet those needs?
Empathy:
Brand expressions that leave a “better than
before” feeling of heard and understood. How do
we communicate an understanding of need?
Brand Role / Layer:
More than just a layer of aesthetic, it ensures all
actions are performed in a manner inherent to
the brand.
31. Experience Design Cheat Sheet
Modern experiences are self-contained interactions with both
functional and emotional benefits.
Marker moments allow us to focus on the most effective points.
We build self-contained interactions at these moments because
people don’t act linearly nor can we control each point of their
experience as technology consolidates steps.
Every interaction is packed with value, it’s articulated in the brand’s
language, it’s empathetic and it’s useful
33. Meet LIORA
There’s incredible expertise and experience
available in the world of health care — but
access to it is limited by geography, resources
and logistics. What if the best care in the world
was available anywhere? What if we could all
share in the knowledge and expertise that we
need to live healthier lives? Welcome to Liora.
Welcome to better care.
34. LIORA brings the expertise of doctors, providers, nutritionists, therapists, and trainers together to
provide a level of care that goes beyond anything you’ve ever experienced. Whether it’s at a digital
appointment or at our all-inclusive locations where you can see multiple care team members in one
session, we bring world-class care to you – wherever you are.
35. Given how LIORA is so different
than traditional care, they’re
having a hard time building
trust with consumers and
converting them into patients.

interacts with your body and how it impacts the

delivery service that’s re-imaging everything
from the supply chain to personalized nutrition.

house and they made it easy to
follow simple instructions.

know if I could trust them.

liked to talk to a person.
The meals were delicious.
After a week, I felt better.
It feels good to eat what’s
right for my body.
I didn’t notice that much of
a difference.
It was fun to learn about Ono.

They walked me through
everything.

information to sign up.
Sign up took a long time.

do it or not — two weeks

about signing up for the
subscription.
Orders arrive without fail every
Monday.
It’s great to not worry about
eating healthy.
An order didn’t get delivered.
It’s too expensive, I canceled
my subscription.
