Marcos Sebastian, MyWishes Design Lead

Design is a hugely important way in which us humans understand an organisation. The design and branding can visualise both the service provided and values the organisation aligns itself to. When designing an end of life planning platform or service, it is difficult to highlight the multitude of different messages required. MyWishes objective was for the design to help install credibility, security, compassion and engagement in a non-morbid and accessible way. 

In this seminar, MyWishes’ design journey will be used as a case study. Starting from its original concept more than 10 years ago a chronological journey will outlines the design process and the different design iterations along the way. The seminar will conclude on the end of life planning suite, MyWishes has manifested into. 

Explorations around the design and user experience will take place and reasoning for colours and layout explained.
