"The Future of User Experience in Mobility"

Recent shifts in the automotive industry have required that OEMs transition into digital product companies, placing a new importance on user experience design (UX) for future mobility services. This transformation has required that automotive companies look beyond traditional products, and focus on human needs like trust, confidence, and accessibility, especially when it comes to autonomous vehicles and new mobility. 

At kind invitation of our DJW member Goodpatch, we invite you to to an interactive webinar full of insights and discussions around the growing importance of human-centered design, user research and testing, and how OEMs can integrate them into their R&D processes.

About Our Host

Goodpatch is an international design company, driven by the mission to prove the power of design. They collaborate with a network of global corporate partners to solve complex problems with a human-centered approach. Creating lovable products is at the core of the Goodpatch DNA. Their offering includes user research, strategy, UX/UI design, and the development of apps and immersive AR/VR experiences. All of this is embedded in a powerful ecosystem that Goodpatch shapes with their partners through organizational design, namely in the creation of in-house design teams and ventures.

Goodpatch was founded in 2011 by Naofumi Tsuchiya after he moved back to Tokyo from Silicon Valley. Today, Goodpatch’s Japanese roots and influence have impacted a highly diverse team of 160 people, across three studios in Tokyo, Berlin, and Munich. Goodpatch’s clients and partners include Toyota, Daimler, Audi, Renault-Nissan, TietoEvry, Here, emmy Sharing, and NTT DATA.

Next to client work, Goodpatch has developed in-house products, which include Prott, a prototyping tool for mobile apps, and Athena, a virtual and augmented reality tool for designing and testing experiences around the connected car. With Athena, it is now possible to design and evaluate user interfaces and user experiences in cross reality (XR) before moving to physical prototypes, avoiding costly and slow iteration cycles.
