SDNNYC Goes to the Met: A Service Safari Experience

SDNNYC Goes to the Met: A Service Safari Experience

Sat, Jul 18, 3:00 PM
From SDN New York Chapter (NYC Service Design Collective)
4.8

**Saturday, July 18th, 11:00AM-3:00 PM EDT** **SDN Goes to the Met: A Service Safari Experience** **Event Description** One of the great tools that Service Designers have in their toolset is the service safari, an exercise where a project team goes out into the wild and acts as customers to experience a product, service, or environment firsthand. The exercise helps you build deep empathy, uncover real-world pain points, and reveal gaps in your customer journey that traditional surveys or interviews might miss. On Saturday, July 18th we invite you to join us as we take a service safari to one of the crown jewels of New York City: The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Attendees will break into groups and get an opportunity to practice this research technique firsthand within the museum itself. At the end of the day we will share our findings and gather for food and drink. **About Our Guide** **Peter March** Peter is a UX and experience design leader with 15+ years shaping products for Fortune 500 brands. His design practice spans across digital and real world touchpoints, bringing UX rigor to environments like events, exhibits, and retail. He formally served as a local leader of the Interaction Design Association, and is part of the TAILORU Stitch Collective, where he helps professionals integrate AI into human centered workflows. **Agenda** * 11am - 11:30 am Introductions and activity outline * 11:30 am - 1:00 pm Field research: Exploring in teams * 1:00 - 2:15 pm Lunch; team synthesis & debrief * 2:15 - 3pm Findings share back with the full group **Address** The Metropolitan Museum of Art 1000 Fifth Avenue New York, NY 10028 **After-Party**: Dylan Murphy's 1453 3rd Ave, New York, NY 10028 First drink is on SDNNYC! **Financial Transparency & Scholarships** As a non-profit, we do our best to strike a balance between making our events available to all and ensuring we keep the lights on. For this event, we are charging $10. * If this amount is prohibitive for you to attend this event, please message [Barry](https://www.meetup.com/sdnnyc/members/267573171/) on Meetup and we’ll provide you a scholarship to this event.

Join UXPA NJ — first-timers and familiar faces alike — for good eats and good company at The Wanderer in Jersey City. How did you survive the summer’s *second* heat wave? And how about the July 4th holiday, BBQ or the beach? Are you starting a new project, or planning a trip to get away from it all? Whatever's on your mind, come out, grab a slice, and catch up with your neighbors and fellow designers. This month we're mixing things up again with a quick creative activity. Put your thinking cap on, and join us in 2 weeks! More details to come. The Wanderer is a “caffeine to cocktails” bar tucked between Cafe Alyse & One World Pizza in the McGinley Square neighborhood of Jersey City. And lucky us, the Wanderer hosts a Happy Hour on Tuesdays! Discounted select beer & wines and $5 cheese pizzas from One World Pizza next door. *Did someone say Happy Hour?* There will be no agenda or speakers for this event. We just want to encourage informal socializing. **(Not an) Agenda:** 5:30 pm - 8:00 pm Socializing, networking, drinks & maybe pizza (cash bar) Feel free to stay later! **The Wanderer** **53 Baldwin Ave, Jersey City, NJ 07304** 🏃🏽‍♂️ **18 minute walk** from Journal Square Path station 🚌 **By bus:** NJTransit route #s 9, 8, 87, 80 🚲 **Citibike station:** Baldwin at Montgomery 🚗 **Street parking available**, with the Parkmobile app https://www.instagram.com/thewanderer_jerseycity [https://www.instagram.com/one_world_pizza/](https://www.instagram.com/one_world_pizza/) [ParkMobile Parking App | Find & Pay for Parking | On-street & Reservation](https://parkmobile.io/)
