Overview

Once, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe said “God is in the details” to explain how important designing “details” is . Considering that, we would like to apply his thought on designing customer experience and define how “details” should be when it comes to “Customer Experience”.

Designing good moments is crucial for a good customer experience.

Solely using UX tools such as journeymaps is not enough for designing an entire experience. This approach often miss the crucial part of “Generating Happiness” . When it comes to “tourism” in Japan, foreigners can hardly understand the mysterious culture, or they go through experiences without even understanding its context.

So, we are thinking to improve specific experiences for foreigners to light up the whole to be much more atractive and positive.
