In an ever-evolving and fast-paced experience economy; the pressure is on industry professionals to consistently drive new thinking, organic human-centric solutions and revolutionary experience design methods and best practices.
Experience Design (XD)
Experience design is a new industry discipline; a niche skillset designed to bring together a complex mix of design disciplines creating a more holistic and full-circle approach in engineering memorable experiences.
To help develop and prepare the industry for the right best practice skills and methodologies and to grow careers within this rapidly growing competency, Immersion Group’s training unit and APMG have developed the XD Practitioner certification.
